"The UPS cargo plane crash left a trail of destruction in an industrial area near Louisville's Muhammad Ali International Airport, new satellite images show. At least 12 people, including many on the ground, were killed after the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 crashed shortly after takeoff on Tuesday. The black boxes, which hold cockpit voice and flight data, have since been recovered."
"Videos show UPS Flight 2976 banking left as it crashed. Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board said the plane's left engine detached entirely during takeoff. There were three crew members on board the plane, which was bound for Honolulu. Officials said the up to nine-hour journey meant the jet was carrying 220,000 pounds of fuel, or about 38,000 gallons."
A UPS McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo plane crashed three miles south of Muhammad Ali International Airport near Louisville, hitting businesses and warehouses. At least 12 people, including many on the ground, were killed. Videos show UPS Flight 2976 banking left as it crashed. The National Transportation Safety Board said the plane's left engine detached entirely during takeoff. Black boxes holding cockpit voice and flight data were recovered. The flight to Honolulu had three crew members and about 220,000 pounds (38,000 gallons) of fuel. The large fuel load fueled a massive fireball and smoke plume. Commercial satellite images of the wreckage were provided by Vantor.
