Asiana flight OZ991

Departed Incheon, for Pudong. Diverted to Jeju, crashed into the sea 76 Miles SW of Jeju. The two pilots missing.

But Hell, it's just a cargo plane. Had to dig just to find information about it.
If you haven't gone over you "Smoke, Fire, Fumes" checklist(s)(s),( as if UPS wasn't enough ) this is a great motivator. I put in the bonus (s) as there are multiple checklists, and "somewhat" confusing even in a relaxed atmosphere. In times of stress, well, nough said.

My thoughts go to the pilots families.

No mention on APC either. Guess "non" freight types don't see much in discussing an Asian freight airline going down. Maybe people will notice in a day or so.

I see that discussion now. I did not see it initially, and used the search function using "asiana" within the last week. It came up with nothing, so I must have done something wrong ...
