Full Sequence from Take-Off to Crash: Final Moments of UPS MD-11 Captured by Ground Crew Near Louisville, Kentucky Airport in Spine-Chilling Footage [VIDEO]
Right now, prayers are being sent to Louisville after a UPS MD-11 erupted in a fiery explosion on Tuesday.
Numerous plane crashes have marked the year 2025, and November is no exception.
The worst crash of the year was in January, when American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., and killed everybody aboard.
On Tuesday, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 operated by UPS Airlines crashed near Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. Three crew members were on board the aircraft.
A large cloud of black smoke billowed into the sky.
Now, we are seeing new footage of the UPS MD-11 from the ground as it can be seen trying to take off while on fire before it reaches the end of the track and explodes.
The United Parcel Service cargo jet can carry approximately 36,000 gallons of fuel, equivalent to around 300,000 pounds.
Mayor Greenberg confirmed multiple injuries, and the fire from the plane crash was still burning as of this writing. He has since stated that at least three people have died as a result of the crash, and 11 people are injured.
“Please join Rachel and me in praying for the crew of UPS flight 2976. This is an incredible tragedy that our community will never forget. We are so thankful for our brave first responders who have flooded the scene to help try and control the fire and provide support for any victims on the ground.” Mayor Greenberg also stated.
We are praying for everyone involved.
