LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A UPS plane caught fire and exploded as it took off Tuesday evening from Louisville's airport, killing at least three people and injuring at least 11 more.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said UPS Flight 2976 from the Louisville Muhammad Ali International to Honolulu had a "catastrophic crash" around 5:15 p.m. Two business just south of the airport, Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts, were impacted by the plane and its debris. Grade A Auto Parts has accounted for all its employees except for two, though there may have been many other customers inside at the time.
Beshear said he expects the death and injury toll to grow.
"It may be some time until we can account for everyone," he said.
