Tragic UPS Plane Crash in Louisville Claims at Least 9 Lives
A UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, resulting in at least 9 fatalities and injuring numerous others. Eyewitnesses described a dramatic scene as the plane, reportedly 34 years old and previously repaired in September, experienced an engine failure that caused it to veer off course and collide with nearby warehouses. Video footage captured the terrifying explosion and fireball that ensued, with flames engulfing local businesses. The NTSB is currently investigating the incident while UPS has announced potential shipping delays due to the closure of its Worldport hub. Recovery efforts are ongoing as authorities assess the damage and search for any additional victims.
