The UPS cargo plane that went down is being called a “descendant” of the DC-10 that crashed in 1979 — American Airlines Flight 191.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A UPS cargo plane’s left wing caught fire and an engine fell off just before it crashed and exploded after takeoff in Kentucky, a federal official said Wednesday, offering the first investigative details about a disaster that killed at least 12 people, including a child.
The UPS plane whose engine exploded in Kentucky had flown out of Baltimore Marshall Airport less than 12 hours earlier.
Haunting similarities can be found between the UPS jet crash and the deadliest aviation incident in U.S. history, a crash at O'Hare Airport in 1979.
