A UPS cargo plane crashed after takeoff from Louisville airport, killing at least seven, with the death toll expected to rise as investigators examine a violent crash that sent the aircraft careening off course into hangars and buildings.
UPS Flight 2976, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 trimjet bound for Hawaii, crashed at approximately 17:15 local time with three crew members aboard, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and UPS. Four additional victims were not on the aircraft, officials said.
