US EditionUPS and FedEx grounding MD-11 planes following deadly Kentucky crash
- On Friday, UPS and FedEx announced they would ground their McDonnell Douglas MD-11 fleets effective immediately after a crash Tuesday at UPS Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky, that killed 14 people.
- UPS said the grounding was `out of an abundance of caution` and followed the aircraft manufacturer’s recommendation, while FedEx said it will perform a `thorough safety review`.
- The NTSB said the cockpit bell sounded about 37 seconds after takeoff thrust was called, and airport security video shows the left engine detaching during the takeoff roll.
- UPS Worldport resumed night sorting Wednesday night, while contingency plans aim to maintain deliveries from the Louisville facility employing more than 20,000 people and sorting over 400,000 packages hourly.
- The NTSB said investigators will determine why the engine fell off, but officials cautioned the inquiry could take more than a year, with months before the cockpit recording transcript timeline is public; Boeing did not immediately respond to requests about the recommendation.
