UPS plane crashes in Louisville

Okay well if that's the case then there's definitely some fault to be had. We'll see what unfolds as the story continues to develop. I'll have to take back my earlier statement.
7 so far
Is this real?
Yep!
As someone who did flight training way back in the day this is depressing as fuck to watch back.
Don't let the any of the mechanics that helped in the major overhaul that was done on that plane in October be women or black/brown skinned

I wonder who's bright idea it was tp put a petroleum/propane recycling center with tanks no less at the in the flight path of/end of/near the runway of an airport..... shit shoulda been illegal to do back when the Wright brothers were flying... 
UPDATE:
McDonnell Douglas MD-11F N259UP flight UPS2967
At least 9 Fatal, 15 Injured and 16 unaccounted for
Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky has reopened but multiple taxiways remain closed after UPS Flight 2976 crashed following take off around 5:15 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 was headed to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. The FAA and NTSB are on the scene investigating. The NTSB will lead the investigation and provide all updates. The FAA is coordinating with the UPS team.

God I hope that it was quick for these people. And the flight crew.... no recourse whatsoever. I would hate to be the investigator who has to listen to that flight recording or to have been air traffic control. Blood curdling.
Whoa!!!...RIP to the ones that lost their lives in this plane crash!!..
Let's say, these pilots were probably experienced. Knowing that they passed V1 with maybe 1 operating engine means ... When we saw engine 1 on fire at the beginning of the vid, they knew it was about to be over. Sad all around.
When the wing clipped the fuel depot and caused that 1st explosion it was all over they surely shed a ton of velocity, a huge vector change and a damaged wing doomed them. Might have made it up and out if none of those structures were RIGHT AT THE END OF THE FUCKING RUNWAY!
Planes are designed to be able to fly on one engine. Ostensibly, they should have been able to take off and limp back around for an emergency landing.

V1 Point of no return. After ~120-140 knots you cant abort. Runway is not infinite. Planes are designed to be able to fly with one engine otherwise you'd have birds falling out the sky with much higher regularity.
Engine fell off either right before takeoff or right when they went airborne. They were going too fast to stop. They had to try to takeoff.
FROM GOOGLE:
Why you cannot stop after
V1cap V sub 1
- Insufficient runway:
V1cap V sub 1
is the point of no return because, at that speed, the remaining runway is not long enough to safely stop the aircraft. The distance has been calculated to be sufficient for either a safe takeoff or a safe stop, but only if the decision is made at or before
V1cap V sub 1
. - Brake energy limits: Stopping a heavy aircraft at such a high speed would generate an extreme amount of heat and stress on the brakes, potentially exceeding their energy limits.
- Standard operating procedures: After passing
V1cap V sub 1
, pilots are trained to continue the takeoff, even with an engine failure, because the calculations have been made to ensure the aircraft can still get airborne and fly safely.
What to do if you pass
V1cap V sub 1
- Continue the takeoff: The standard procedure is to continue the takeoff, rotating at
VRcap V sub cap R
and climbing out of the airport. - For critical engine failures: In the unlikely event of a dual engine failure at or after
V1cap V sub 1
, the aircraft would likely not have enough thrust to climb, and the crew's only option would be to use maximum braking to try and stop, although this would almost certainly result in a runway overrun. - For a severe mechanical issue: If the issue is less severe and the pilot decides to abort after
V1cap V sub 1
, they would use all available braking systems and pilot skills to attempt to stop, but the risk of a crash is very high
Now the question ...what was done during its latest MX last month? engine 1 was found on the runway so... Fod from 1 destroys/ ignites engine 2. Third wasn't enough . A bird strike wont dislodge an engine. Signs point to that latest MX
Can't open the emergency exit doors. The plane is starting to pressurize and the doors won't open.
DAMN...RIP
Nig landed in 2 feet of water unscathedBut Arnold did it in commando
Why is Boeing damn near always in the middle of these plane crashes?
This particular incident may or my not be their fault.....but I'm still not trusting that company
Arnold fell from Higher than 37 feet
