Death Toll Rises to 9 in Louisville UPS Plane Crash
The crash caused a massive fire damaging nearby businesses; 9 died and 11 were injured in the deadliest UPS accident since 1988, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, UPS Flight 2976 crashed around 5:15 p.m. after departing Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, killing nine and injuring 11, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed.
- Investigators noted the MD-11 was carrying 38,000 gallons of jet fuel, which likely escalated the blaze, as experts suggested a possible left-engine detachment during takeoff.
- Verified footage shows fire on the plane's left wing and a charred engine near the runway, with debris on nearby roofs, after reaching 214mph on runway 17R.
- UPS halted operations at Worldport, which processes 2 million packages per day, while over 200 responders fought fires and Louisville metro schools closed Wednesday as officials urged families to avoid local hospitals.
- Federal investigators said the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation with about 28 NTSB investigators arriving Wednesday, while officials urged residents not to touch debris.
