The National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday released new details about the Nov. 4 UPS plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky , providing evidence in a preliminary report that the aircraft possessed “fatigue cracks” and “fractures.”

Federal investigators said they found cracks in the left wing’s engine mount of the 34-year-old cargo plane, which was not yet due for a detailed inspection. Its last inspection was in October 2021.
