DEATH TOLL RISES TO SEVEN IN DEADLY UPS PLANE CRASH IN KENTUCKY
Officials have confirmed seven people are dead after a UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport on Tuesday evening.
Mayor Craig Greenberg said during a news briefing that three crew members were on board the aircraft and that four other victims were on the ground.
“There were three crew members on the plane. The four that we have confirmed dead are not on the plane,” Greenberg said. “We believe it will be seven that we’re aware of at this time.”
Authorities say the crash was likely caused by engine failure during takeoff, sparking a massive fireball that could be seen for miles.
Emergency crews continue to search the crash site, while officials have extended condolences to the victims’ families.
