LOUISVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — The Louisville community came together for a candlelight vigil to remember the 13 lives lost in the UPS flight crash, with local officials urging residents to "stay resilient" as the city mourns alongside people across the nation.
The vigil provided a moment of reflection for those grieving the loss of UPS Flight 2976, which claimed the lives of three crew members and 10 others. Captain Robert Travis, who represents UPS pilots through the Independent Pilots Association, knew both pilots personally and described the profound impact of their loss.
"You don't think you're ever going to experience days like this, dealing with a fatality accident of your friends," Travis said.
Two of the crew members aboard were Captain Richard Wartenburg and Captain Dana Diamond.
