A UPS cargo plane crashed after engine failure on takeoff from Louisville, killing at least 12, injuring 15, and damaging nearby areas.
A UPS cargo plane, a 1991 McDonnell Douglas MD-11, crashed and exploded shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on November 4, 2025, after the left engine detached and the left wing caught fire during the takeoff roll.
The aircraft, en route to Honolulu, cleared the runway fence before crashing and destroying itself, spreading fire to nearby businesses and creating a debris field half a mile long.
The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed the recovery of the cockpit voice and data recorders, both damaged by heat but intact.
At least 12 fatalities were reported, including a child, with two people in critical condition and 13 others treated and released.
Residents were advised not to drink tap water, and the airport’s Worldport hub, UPS’s largest facility, halted operations.
The investigation is ongoing.
