Three days after a UPS cargo plane crashed and erupted into a deadly ball of fire in an industrial part of Louisville, Kentucky, investigators are piecing together evidence in a slow search for answers, APA reports, citing USA TODAY.
The death toll rose to 14 on Nov. 7 after Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said another victim had been found at the crash site. Among the dead are believed to be the three crew members on the UPS plane and a still unknown number on the ground. More are expected to be found dead as a search of the wreckage continues.
"May their memories be a blessing," Greenberg posted on X late Friday.
The UPS plane crashed at about 5:15 p.m. on Nov. 4, shortly after it took off for Honolulu from the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. A large plume of fire erupted around the plane's left wing and one of its three engines detached as the aircraft rolled down the runway, according to Todd Inman of the National Transportation Safety Board.
At a news conference on Nov. 7, Inman said the area of the crash site remained an "active debris field," and that small fires and smoke have still been observed in the area on Friday.
