ABX 767 catches fire at SFO


A fire in the cockpit of this ABX 767 sent one crewmember to the hospital with minor injuries last night when the incident happened while parked on a cargo ramp at San Fransisco International Airport. About 100 workers at the nearby air mail facility were evacuated because thick smoke had filled their building. Aircraft was obviously being operated for DHL.

Other reports have noted that the crew was onboard when the fire broke out and were able to successfully evacuate the jet.

The jet was parked in a remote part of the airport so it took firefighters longer than usual to get to the plane.
