flag UPS and FedEx grounded MD-11 fleets after a fatal crash killed 14, including pilots, at UPS’s Louisville hub.

flag UPS and FedEx have grounded their MD-11 cargo fleets following a deadly crash at UPS’s Louisville hub that killed 14 people, including three pilots. flag The MD-11, built in 1991, caught fire and lost an engine during takeoff, with cockpit alarms sounding about 37 seconds after thrust was requested. flag The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating, reviewing flight data and cockpit recordings, with a full transcript expected in months. flag Both carriers cited manufacturer recommendations for the grounding, though Boeing, which acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997, has not explained the advice. flag The aircraft had undergone over a month of maintenance in San Antonio before the crash, and UPS Worldport resumed operations the following night.
