FedEx 1407 abort. Immediate turn right 350. Delta 1508 abort. Immediate turn left 290. We have." The radio went silent. Captain Ron pressed his transmitter and said, "Memphis is gone. Contact regional control for alternate landing sites. Keep a lookout for other aircraft in your vicinity." Who was responsible for the destruction of a large section of the United States?
