墜落原因は不明とのこと。しかも墜落した場所が、偶然というか何かのシグナルか、メーソンロッジのそばとのこと。このフェデックス機を操縦していた女性パイロットのみが死亡し、積んでいた荷物は全て炎上。また「危険物」とラベルの貼られていた６種類のウイルスは人に影響は与えない、としながらも、飛行機墜落とともにウイルスも炎上したらしい。
いつでもバイオテロが起きておかしくないこの時期に謎の墜落である。
FedEx plane crashes in downtown Winnipeg Thu Oct 6, 3:50 PM ET

A small aircraft carrying cargo for FedEx Corp. -- including six vials of research viruses -- crashed in downtown Winnipeg on Thursday, killing its pilot, the only person on board, but sparing injury on the ground.
The Cessna 208 crashed on railway tracks in the western Canadian city just before 6 a.m. (1100 GMT), leaving only a "twisted heap" of wreckage behind, local radio said.
The crash occurred close to a Masonic Lodge at the intersection of several major streets that is known locally as "Confusion Corner."
The crash incinerated all cargo aboard the plane, including four frozen 0.5 milliliter (0.015 fluid ounce) vials of herpes virus and two of influenza, a spokeswoman for FedEx Canada said.
The viruses were not hazardous, Karen Cooper said, although they were packaged and handled as dangerous goods.
There was no danger to the public from the viruses, she said.
"It's not unusual for FedEx to send specimens, because this is what we're trained to do," Cooper said. "We have special packaging and we're licensed to transport dangerous materials."
The plane, which was on its way to Thunder Bay, Ontario, from Winnipeg, was operated and maintained by FedEx subcontractor Morningstar Air Express Inc., Cooper said.
Federal aviation inspectors and police have not yet determined the cause of the crash, she said.
Winnipeg was hit by an unusually early and heavy snowfall on Wednesday.

Plane Carrying Viruses Crashes in Canada
Oct 06 6:57 PM US/Eastern
WINNIPEG, Manitobattp://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/06/D8D2QNPG2.html
（略）
The research samples of frozen influenza and herpes viruses were destroyed in the crash and ensuing fire along with other freight, Federal Express spokeswoman Karen Cooper said
(略）
In its cargo were six vials of virus samples being sent to Thunder Bay for research, Cooper said.
Although the samples were labeled dangerous goods, they weren't considered hazardous at the crash site since all the cargo was destroyed in the blaze, Cooper said.
Police Sgt. Kelly Dennison said weather may have been a factor. Reports suggested light snow and mist in the area, temperatures near the freezing mark, moderate winds and about four miles of visibility.
Ross said the plane probably wasn't carrying a flight data recorder
