Good God. another fatal cargo aircraft fire and crash.

And, again, lithium batteries on board and a possible factor. I am by no means an fire safety expert or engineer, but could something be done about packaging these thing for safer shipment?

RIP to the crew and condolences to their loved ones.

Lithium batteries will continue to be a problem for the air cargo industry. The problem is money. The lithium battery shippers' lobbyists have overwhelmed IATA and Washington. Enough said.

BTW I am certified in this stuff....
