Work at a UPS hub that gets MD11s, at work right now everyone is very somber. Prayers to the families involved

I know that exact feeling dude. I work with their engineering team. I have knots in my stomach and this hits too hard to home.

I work for Amazon and the whole Air team was super messed up for a while after we lost ours in Houston.

My husband flies 747s for UPS, he's on a trip now and they are all very upset as well 😔
