(AP) -- A FedEx Boeing 727 cargo jet crashed and burned short of the runway Friday at Tallahassee Airport. The three-member crew escaped serious injury, officials said. The three-engine jet, FedEx Fight 1478 from Memphis, Tenn., landed a half mile short of the runway at 5:43 a.m., said Kathleen Bergen, a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman at regional offices in Atlanta. It wasn't immediately know why it didn't reach the runway. ``We can't speculate on the cause,'' said Jess Bunn, the FedEx spokesman at company headquarters in Memphis. ``The National Transportation Safety Board and FedEx's own safety team will be investigating.'' Brooke Wilson, spokeswoman at Tallahassee Memorial Health Care hospital, said the three were in fair condition. They were being checked for broken bones; they did not suffer burns, she said. Michelle Bono, a spokeswoman for the City of Tallahassee, which owns the airport, said the airport would remain closed until the wreckage is cleared. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-FedEx-Crash.html?ex=1028692114&ei=1&en=d5dcb43ee702a97b HOW TO ADVERTISE --------------------------------- For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact onlinesales@nytimes.com or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to help@nytimes.com.
