US EditionBusinesses, Resident File Lawsuit Against UPS After Fatal Louisville Plane Crash
The UPS cargo plane carried 38,000 gallons of fuel, causing a massive explosion that killed 13 and injured over a dozen near a key Louisville industrial hub.
- On Nov. 4, an MD-11-F cargo plane operated as Flight 2976 crashed shortly past the runway at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, killing 13 people.
- Investigators said a large plume of fire erupted from the left wing and CCTV showed the left engine detaching during the takeoff roll; the plane then lifted off and crashed off airport property.
- UPS named the three crew members aboard the flight as Captain Richard Wartenberg, First Officer Lee Truitt and International Relief Officer Captain Dana Diamond, and investigators noted the jet carried 38,000 gallons of fuel, far more than the roughly 10,000 gallons on the 9/11 planes.
- On Nov. 6, law firms filed lawsuits and a class action complaint seeking damages from UPS, GE and Boeing, with attorneys Childers and Peterson demanding accountability and Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg supporting victims and a GoFundMe fundraiser raising more than $20,000.
- Satellite images show scorched debris and damaged buildings, about 8 or 9 remain unaccounted for, and Louisville's UPS major hub status affects dozens of businesses in the industrial park.
