That approach must've been a smoky nightmare... crew did a good job.

Wow, that looks pretty bad, but it speaks volumes about the structural integrity... kudos to the crew indeed... (knowing Philly they'll probably just leave that lying around for a decade or two)

Shame, there are so few of these left.
Looks a bit better than the Fed-ex DC10 that burnt up on landing in Memphis last year.

Just put a Band-Aid on it, take the pills, and call me in the morning. ::)
Thank Goodness the crew made it out ok!

The crew did a fantastic job and thank God it was 6600 packages onboard and not 200 passengers!
It is ashame to see a DC-8 that will never fly again!
