UPS plane crash kills at least 7 people in Kentucky.

A UPS cargo plane crashed and exploded during takeoff from Louisville, Kentucky, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people and injuries to many others. The crash occurred at around 5:15 p.m. as the plane was departing for Honolulu from the Muhammad Ali International Airport. Video footage captured flames on the aircraft's left wing, followed by a trail of smoke, and then the plane slightly lifting off the ground before crashing and exploding into a fireball. The death toll had increased to at least seven by Tuesday night, with four of the fatalities not being passengers on the plane. Among the 11 individuals injured, several had sustained severe injuries, according to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. The crash heavily impacted a few businesses in the vicinity, with at least two individuals reported missing from a nearby auto shop. The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft, manufactured in 1991, had a full tank of fuel for its long journey, resulting in a significant fire that quickly spread to nearby structures. The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation into the incident. The Louisville airport will remain closed until at least 7 a.m. ET Wednesday. Viewer discretion is advised for video footage, as it shows the intense crash and aftermath. Witnesses described the scene as highly disturbing and unsettling, with many affected by the tragic event.
