Investigation underway: A UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport Tuesday, leaving a fiery trail of destruction and a half- mile-long debris field. At least 12 people have died and others are injured, officials say, warning the death toll could climb as the investigation continues.
Black boxes recovered: An NTSB investigation team is on site at the crash location and has recovered the aircraft’s “black boxes” - the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.

Tail was down. That’s probably a package issue. Wonder if it was partially filled. And the container they slide in slipped back. That’s insane to see. Wtf is happening.
An engine exploded when they were taking off, still on the runway but too late to abort.
It was even worse. One engine exploded and the tail engine failed. They could have still taken off with just one engine out.
Not a good way to go.
Wild that it could be because a piece of the wing went inside the engine.
