At the Teamsters Local 89 union hall, 13 white crosses stood in the parking lot as dozens of people lit candles and prayed Thursday evening.

Each represented a person who lost their life in the UPS cargo plane crash earlier this week. Mayor Craig Greenberg announced the 13th victim at the vigil.

Many of the attendees appeared to be UPS employees — the largest workplace in Louisville.

Saundra Thrasher, a wife of a UPS pilot, was among the mourners. She said she was leaving work at the time of the crash and rushed back to the airport, hoping the crew would still be alive. Tragically, all of them perished.

The crew’s names were announced alongside a moment of silence: Cap. Richard Wartenberg, First Officer Lee Truitt and International Relief Officer Captain Dana Diamond.
