#1 Saw the video and while I don’t agree with the term ‘skidding,’ I would say that the heavy snowfall likely caused the crew to become disoriented and took a couple of wrong turns, as confirmed by ground track radar.
The vision of those bins getting sucked into and through the engines was pretty wild. Amazing no one was hurt by all that shrapnel.

#2 Covid home test kits need to be kept above freezing. Are they transported In heated holds? Are they being stored in heated warehouses?

Ma'am,

My understanding is that dedicated cargo aircraft (which I understand this one to be) have heated and non heated holds. In theory, the ground crews on the starting end should have known where to put what...though I'm not hopeful.

#4 CCP made test kits made in CCP LAB's in towns the CCP will not even provide real C-19 infection data?

Will the test kits be QA/QC by a trusted collection independent US LAB's? To make sure the CCP only Mmade them to test for c-19 and nothing eles.

#5 Going way too fast for being “disoriented”.
