Yeh.  IIRC, FedEx has a perfect safety record. Even the time they
flipped an MD-11 at Newark there weren't fatalities.


They have one widely seen crash though, in the pacific, only one
survived and managed to survive on an island for a long time and was
finally rescued.

The survivor has had an interesting life.
I heard he used dressed up as a girl, and once fell in love with a mermaid, before catching aids and losing his job at a law firm. That must have been when he decided to work for FedEx. At some point, I think he lived in Seattle, which is interesting, because it is actually the birthplace of UPS.
