At least seven people have been killed after a cargo plane ran off the runway and burst into flames in Kentucky on Tuesday. The burning aircraft, which was operated by the American delivery company UPS, struck several buildings when it crashed mid-takeoff. Officials fear the number of dead and injured could rise.
A UPS cargo plane erupted into a massive fireball shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on November 4, killing at least four people and injuring 11 others in what Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear described as a "catastrophic crash."
Both aircraft were on routine flight operations, the Navy said, when they went down in the South China Sea only 30 minutes apart.
