At least three people were killed and 11 injured after a UPS UPS.N wide-body cargo plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, erupting into a massive fireball shortly after takeoff, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said on Tuesday.

“We’ve got some initial numbers, but let me tell you I expect them to grow,” Beshear said. “Right now we believe we have at least three fatalities. I believe that number is going to get larger. We have at least 11 injuries, some of them very significant that are being treated by local hospitals.”

The plane had three crew members on board, according to UPS, and federal officials said all were feared dead.
