UPS Cargo Plane Crashes and Explodes in Massive Fireball During Takeoff in Louisville
A UPS cargo plane crashed and exploded in a massive fireball on Tuesday while taking off.
The aircraft went down as it departed from UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, bound for Honolulu.
Footage captured by ground crew on another shows the jet already on fire as it accelerated down the runway before erupting into a huge fireball.
“Right now, we believe we have at least three fatalities, though I expect that number to rise. We also have at least 11 injuries, some of them very serious,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said.
The video reveals flames on the plane’s left wing as it lifted off the ground before crashing and exploding. Now, an incredible new angle shows the UPS cargo jet plowing through what appears to be a truck stop.
