  1. "UPS never required detailed inspection of part that failed before engine flew off plane that crashed" by @AssociatedPress - Most involved parties share blame for UPS #MD11 crash. Boeing & FAA underestimated severity of pylon bearing failure, causing other parts to fail which caused the crash. UPS didn't order deep inspection of the pylon because Boeing didn't require it. Inspections are now the emerging answer. apnews.com/article/louisville- #UPS2976 #MD11grounding #aviation #business #cargo #avgeek

  2. "More FedEx MD-11 cargo jets return to service, others are retired" by FreightWaves - After UPS retired its #MD11 fleet, FedEx is returning most to service to maintain widebody capacity. 5 were retired (replaced by new 767s), 4 have returned to service with the others in process. freightwaves.com/news/more-fed #MD11grounding #aviation #business #cargo #avgeek
