At least 7 people are dead and multiple others are injured after a United Parcel Service cargo plane crashed and erupted into a massive fireball shortly after takeoff from Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday, Nov. 4, officials said
"Anybody who has seen the images in the video knows how violent this crash is," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said in a news conference on Nov. 4. He expects the death toll to rise.
Video footage of the crash appeared to show the plane taking off with fire on one wing, and a huge fireball erupted as it hit the ground. Several buildings in an industrial area beyond the runway were on fire after the crash, with thick black smoke rising into the sky.
