CORRECTED-FedEx cargo aircraft crashes in Texas


    Corrects weight of cargo on board to 7,300 pounds from 73,000 pounds

    BOSTON (Reuters) - A cargo aircraft operated by a subcontractor of FEDEX (FDX.NY)orp crashed upon landing at an airport in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday and the two crew members who had been on board "walked away" under their own power, a FedEx spokeswoman said.

    The ATR-42 aircraft, operated by Empire Airways, was coming from Fort Worth, Texas, with 7,300 pounds (3,311 kilogram) of freight on board, FedEx spokeswoman Sandra Munoz said.
