Flyhavariet i Kentucky

 

Noen som husker DC-10 havariet i Chicago den 25. mai 1979 da 273 mennesker omkom? Den likner på denne; den mistet også venstre motor i det den tok av. MD-11 er en oppgradert DC-10 som flyr uten Flight Engineer.slik det var i DC-10.

UPS plane engine fell off during crash in Louisville, NTSB official says

Updated on: November 5, 2025 / 6:54 PM EST / CBS/AP

A UPS cargo plane's left wing caught fire and an engine fell off just before it crashed and exploded after takeoff from Louisville International Airport in Kentucky, a federal investigator said Wednesday, offering the first official details about a disaster that killed at least 12 people.  

There was a fire in the plane's left wing and the engine "detached" during takeoff on Tuesday, said Todd Inman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation. 

"There are a lot of different parts of this airplane in a lot of different places," Inman said during a news conference, describing a debris field that stretched for a half-mile.

The plane with three people on board crashed about 5:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday as it was departing for Honolulu from UPS Worldport at Louisville International. Video showed flames on the plane's left wing and a trail of smoke. 

"The plane lifted off and gained enough altitude to clear the fence at the end of Runway 17R. Shortly after clearing that fence, it made impact with structures and the terrain off of the airport property," Inman said.

Narrative:
A United Parcel Service McDonnell Douglas MD-11(F), N259UP, flight UPS2967, was destroyed when it crashed shortly after taking off from 17R at the Louisville-Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF/KSDF), Louisville, Kentucky. The aircraft lost control, the left wing dropping and colliding with industrial buildings. A post crash fire ensued.
The three crew members and eight people on the ground perished and at least eleven people were injured.

ADS-B data data suggests the takeoff was started at 17:12.27. Several videos show that the number 1 (left) engine had separated from the wing during takeoff and came to rest close to the runway.

The main takeaways from this first #NTSB press conference:
- The MD-11 lost its left engine during takeoff roll. This has been documented by CCTV. (Takeoff roll refers to the phase during which the aircraft accelerates on the runway before taking off.)
-Both flight recorders were located in the debris. They suffered heat damage, but they are designed to withstand this.
-The debris field extends over 800 meters.
