Kentucky: At least four people were killed and 11 others injured after a UPS wide-body cargo plane crashed and erupted into a massive fireball shortly after takeoff on Tuesday from Louisville, Kentucky, authorities said.

Flames from the crash ignited a string of fires on the ground in an industrial corridor adjacent to the international airport, apparently accounting for one of the confirmed fatalities and the injuries of 11 people, who according to airport officials were taken to hospital.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said some people suffered “very significant” injuries and that he expected the number of casualties to grow as emergency personnel extinguished fires still burning near the airport. Show Full Article
