A FedEx turboprop plane crashed in Lubbock, Texas while landing on January 27, 2009. Read more about the FedEx plane crash below.

Officials say a FedEx cargo plane landing at a Lubbock, Texas, airport went off the runway, crashed and caught fire, but that the two crew members walked away from the crash. The male pilot, 53, remains hospitalized for observation while the female copilot,26, was treated and released.

James Loomis, the Lubbock airport director, said the ATR-42 twin-turboprop aircraft caught fire just after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when it touched down at the end of the runway and slid into a fence, but safety crews extinguished the fire quickly as 73,000 pounds of cargo burned. Oops! There goes your internet order!

The plane landed in a freezing mist, but Loomis says weather was not a factor in the incident.
