The National Transportation Safety Board released CCTV footage of the moment a UPS plane’s engine fell off before it exploded into a massive fireball last November.
As previously reported, a UPS plane with three crew members onboard crashed on takeoff from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport in November.
Per CNN: “A UPS MD-11 plane crashed near the Louisville, Kentucky, airport, according to preliminary information, a source says.”
“The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane crashed at about 5:15 p.m. It was taking off for Honolulu,” the AP reported.
Aerial video of the aftermath of the plane crash shows a massive fire burning.
15 people died as a result of the plane crash.
Everyone on board the UPS plane died, and 12 victims on the ground died.
“The victims on the ground were identified as Angela Anderson, 45; Carlos Fernandez, 52; Trinadette “Trina” Chavez, 37; Tony Crain, 65; John Loucks, 52; John Spray, 45; Matthew Sweets, 37; Ella Petty Whorton, 31; Megan Washburn, 35: Louisnes Fedon, 47; and his 3-year-old granddaughter Kimberly Asa,” the New York Post reported.
“UPS identified its employees Capt. Richard Wartenberg, 57; First Officer Lee Truitt, 45; and International Relief Officer Capt. Dana Diamond, 62 as the three crew members aboard the doomed flight,” the outlet reported.
The National Transportation Safety Board will convene a hearing this week to investigate the crash.
The FBI also investigated the crash.
