A tragic plane crash has rocked the Louisville, Kentucky region. A McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo plane owned by logistics giant United Parcel Service (UPS) crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. The crash claimed at least seven lives, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said. However, the exact number of victims could rise as rescue work continues.
The plane was en route to Honolulu, Hawaii, when it crashed just a few miles south of the airport. Eyewitnesses reported a huge fireball that ensued upon impact. Because the plane was fully fueled for a long-haul flight, the fuel fueled the explosion. The crash site is near a recycling and auto parts company, making rescue work even more difficult.
UPS confirmed three crew members were on board. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently investigating the cause of the crash. Initial indications suggest that technical problems or human error may have played a role. Investigators are analyzing the flight recorders to obtain more detailed information.
The incident has far-reaching effects on air traffic in the region. Louisville’s airport was temporarily closed and all flights were suspended. The authorities have also imposed a curfew on parts of the affected area to ensure the safety of the population. Governor Beshear described the situation as serious and promised comprehensive support for the affected families.
