UPS cargo plane engine fell off before fiery Kentucky crash that killed 12; FBI investigating
The NTSB confirmed a UPS cargo plane's left engine separated during takeoff before a fatal Louisville airport crash that killed 12 people and injured 11 others Tuesday.
The death toll from the deadliest plane crash in UPS history has reached 13, including three pilots, while nine others remain missing and unaccounted for. During a vigil held the evening of Nov. 6 by a local Teamsters union, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced that the latest victim had passed away from their injuries at UofL Hospital.
At least 13 people were killed and several others injured after a UPS plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville International Airport on Tuesday.
The cockpit voice recorder captured a persistent bell that began about 37 seconds after the crew called for takeoff thrust, and the bell continued until the recording ended, an NTSB official said.
As a bell sounded in the cockpit, three UPS pilots tried to control a cargo flight that crashed this week in Louisville, Kentucky, killing at least 13 people, the National Transportation Safety Board said on Friday.
Still images and aerial video footage appear to show the plane's left engine sitting just off the runway in Louisville, Kentucky.
