UPS plane crashes in Louisville
- Thread starter bham_brotha
- Start date
R.I.P. to the crew.... 
shit was on it's way to Hawaii.... probably loaded with packages and fuel.....
UPS Flight 2976 crashed just after 5 p.m. local time and was headed to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the crash along with the National Transportation Safety Board. The NTSB will lead the investigation, the FAA said Tuesday.
Louisville Metro Police Department and other agencies are responding to the reported plane crash, LMPD said in an X post. Injuries have been reported, police said.
A massive plume of black smoke is rising not far from the tarmac at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, videos from CNN affiliate WAVE show.
Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport is the worldwide air hub for UPS. The company’s Worldport is more than 5 million square feet where more than 12,000 UPS employees process more than two million packages a day, according to the company.
A shelter-in-place has been issued for all locations within 5 miles of the airport, police added.
“LMPD and multiple other agencies are responding to reports of a plan crash near Fern Valley and Grade Lane,” the post said. “Grade lane will be closed indefinitely between Stooges and Crittenden.”
The McDonnell Douglas MD-11F is a freight transport aircraft manufactured originally by McDonnell Douglas and later by Boeing. The aircraft is primarily flown by FedEx Express, Lufthansa Cargo and UPS Airlines for cargo.
The plane also served as a popular wide-bodied passenger airplane after it was first flown in 1990.
As fuel costs increased for the three engine jets many of them were converted to freighters. The plane can take off weighing in at a maximum 633,000 pounds and carrying more than 38,000 gallons of fuel, according to Boeing, which bought McDonnell Douglass.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Trail of flames and buildings, cars burning looks at least a three-four miles long in the video I posted above
This is so sad. RIP
Plane was headed towards Hawaii, so unless you live there or I'm guessing other destinations included Japan/ S. Korea, you're probably fine.....

Good lord, that shit seems like a terrorist attack
Mutual Aid must be a mother fucker right now..... even with it the fire departments must be getting overwhelmed..... all hands-on deck situation for the airport fire department, Louisville fire department as well as surrounding communities that have to move equipment to Louisville to cover any emergencies that come up there!

It's fucking amazing that MSNBC & CNN aren't really covering this..... the polls are still open on the east coast for another hour.... there's no results even near to being reported and all they got on is election talk..... this ain't no small crash and CNN has only broken away once for about 2-3 minutes to report this live....

Maybe it needed to be Air Force One.....
