On Wednesday, China opened the world’s longest high-speed rail line.
The opening of the 2,298 kilometer (1,428 mile)-line was commemorated by the 9 a.m. departure of a train from Beijing for Guangzhou.
Another train left Guangzhou for Beijing an hour later.
Now it takes only half of the time to travel from Beijing to Guangzhou.
A FedExcargo jet from Guangzhou, Chinacrashed in Tokyo Narita International Airport, Japan on Monday March 23,2009.
TheFedEx jet crashed and burst into a huge fireball maybe bigger than my house when it tried to land at the airport.
FedEx jet crashed
Pilot Kevin Kyle Mosley 54 of Hillboro, Ore and co-pilot Anthony Stephen Pino 49 of San Antonio, Texas were killed and all the things in the plane were destroyed.
The plane was a MD-11.
Letters and parcels burnt during the crash
I am sorry that the pilot and the co-pilot were killed during the crash and for all the people who lost their letters and parcels .
They must be very sad especially the pilot’s and the co-pilot’s families.
FedEx MD-11
I had been to the Tokyo Narita International Airport on the way to Chicago.
Anyway I had not been to Guangzhou, China.
I think FedExwill try to send new things to the people who lost their things in the plane crash.
