The nuclear powerplants have done their job well to withstand the earthquakes and if it wasn't the tsunami which destroyed the backup facilities. They wouldn't have this crisis. If this incident had occurred in countries like Malaysia, I would think the worse had already happened.
In her country, hospital & stadium collapse out of all sudden..

Wow, the power and wrath of mother nature
I guess the First Lady has an interesting opinion
Malaysian PM's wife: Japan's earthquake due to negligence
iReport —
Wife of Malaysian Prime Minister, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor said this when asked to comment on Japan's quake-tsunami disaster.
“Japan's earthquake and tsunami is a result of negligence in conducting environmental-friendly developments.
"To me, this is a lesson to other countries, that in everything they do or in whatever development they plan, they should study the surrounding environment and connect it with climate change and green technology," she told private news channel Astro Awani.
A video clip of Rosmah airing her view instantly became a hit among internet users, circulating in sites such as Twitter and Facebook, and being met with sarcastic comments from viewers.
The clip (in Malay language) can be viewed on

Very nice Yusoff, I did not know each Fedex plane got a name.
Each of FedEx plane is named after employees' child name..
Ohhhh active cargo plane than pax there...hehe...
Any chance PEN gonna get FedEx B777F??hehehe. Any idea where do the 3 Fedex heading for?
Not in near future..the nearest the 777F is in SIN.
B777F is primarily used for transpac lanes connecting our hubs in CAN and MEM
and one lane HKG-CDG.
most likely routing for the 3planes:
A310F : CAN-KUL-PEN-CAN
MD11F : CAN-BKK-PEN-CAN
MD11F : CAN-PEN-SIN (for PEN o/b transpac via SIN)
-
in short, good to have but not a necessity..
-
Delighted to see FedEx sending in other types to S'pore apart from the usual M11F, and for once I don't mind photographing another B772!

B777F for SIN-KIX-MEM
MD11F for CAN-SIN-CAN

Ooo... so oversize packages will be directed to a separate chute?
Not really..its more for Dim.Weight measurement..
FYI, chargeable weight for every package is determined either Actual Weight or Dim/Volumetric Weight, whichever is greater.
On the oversize package, we can handle standard package of not more than 330cm (Length + Girth) / Girth= 2 X (Width+Height)
Anything bigger will normally handled by our Freight Hub in TPE instead
Wow, the whole plane for the Panda? Even Sultan of Brunei doesn't travel that way.
Actually, 2 pandas and one ULD as the flight routing was IAD-ATL-CTU.
The 2 giant pandas, Tai Shan from Washington Smithsonian Zoo & Mei Lan from Atlanta Zoo was returned back to China as part of the giant panda breeding progam

Good stuff Fahiruz! Thanks for sharing those amazing pics. Looking much more impressive than DHL Express' SIN HUB. Then again SINHUB is only a small facility compared to this FedEx hub in CAN. That autoscanner (last pic), is that part of the autosort system as well?
Yeah..the scanner will scan packages based on the routing codes & also measure the package dimension..

Just got off the phone with a FedEx guy. They can deliver my package to me anytime today, I just have to tell them when. Expressing my suprise seeing as they can never say exactly when (apart from morning or afternoon), he said that they have no more packages to deliver today because nothing arrived in the past few days. Well, something positive for me, at least.
good for you..on the other hand we have backlogs of shipments waiting to be uplifted to and from CDG from CAN
to make things worse, not only European region affected, but the whole Africa as CDG is the hub for Africa as well.

There is a tiny Fedex Building here in Moncton, the FEDEX 727 comes like a few times a day
Thanks for sharing Walter!
-
Due to this situation, our major hub in CDG is really affected & packages are transported by ground trucks instead but its gonna be much slower
-
WOW>>> I remember I order a car spoiler from US- Takes 5 days!!That was pretty fast.
std transit time is within 3 business days if no clearance delays
Yeah, understand Sir Sultan even has to fly the plane himself sometimes
And what does panda do but prance around and eat and sleep ?!
At FedEx, we have been honored to play a role in the preservation of the giant panda. Most recently, we delivered two giant pandas from the United States to Chengdu. These two pandas, Tai Shan and Mei Lan, have now joined the panda breeding program and will play a part in increasing the giant panda population, which is now at fewer than 1,600 in the wild.

Maybe you guys read about this already..but here's again..
FedEx Panda Express
FedEx has a long history of transporting rare and delicate shipments. Today, we made a very special delivery of two giant pandas from Washington D.C., U.S. to Chengdu, mainland China.
The two giant pandas - Tai Shan, a four-and-a-half-year-old male panda born at the National Zoo, Washington, D.C. and Mei Lan, a three-year-old female panda born at Zoo Atlanta – will arrive at the Chengdu Shuangliu Airport later this afternoon on the FedEx Panda Express, a specially-branded FedEx 777F aircraft.
Upon arrival, the pandas will be transported to their new homes in Chengdu – Tai Shan to the China Conservation and Research Center’s Wolong Nature Reserve and Mei Lan to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.
I am delighted that FedEx is able to support this meaningful global conservation program for these endangered animals. Our support of special deliveries such as the giant pandas highlights our commitment to the communities where we do business, as well as our support for animal conservation and educational initiatives.

sure.bt that not atc..just ground control tower..traffic stil handled by china authority which sometimes can be strict when it comes to unsked flights i.e backup flights to cover ac having mech probs
the hub will be active mostly aftr midnight when all ac will start coming in from gateways such as icn, sin, bkk,kul,pen,pvg,crk,mnl,etc..
can-hub is linked to our regional hubs such as anc for america n cdg for europe..
even though fx has the largest cargo fleet we still use comm flights to syd via sin..so u wont see our md11 workhorse in au or nz..

Just would like to share pics from our APAC Hub in Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN), the largest hub outside US (2nd largest after Memphis)
The hub was just 1 year old since it first commence ops on Feb 6, 2009..
(pics from our internal circulation, not by me

Here's my badly done artist impression on how will the whole thing look like from above.
SO, it seems jalan pekeliling will be no more.
Unless they will make a new one.
1. i dont see the viability of having Aerotrain from Sat-1 to Lcct
2. the rwy naming can also be 14/32R/L and 15/33L/R since got 4 parallel rwy

KLIA is designed for 125m ppa and 5 runways. Wonder how and why ATC is strained at current capacity?
May be another reason for AK to relocates to Labu.
even if AK really moves to Labu, i believe KLIA ATC will still be handling their traffic coz according to TF, Labu is still a part of KLIA which made me wonder is that possible that Labu which is 10km apart from KLIA be under KLIA ATC?
Having to say that, can Labu be considered as part of KLIA in terms of airport operations coz two different airports should be at least 40km apart?
