UPS Crash
Engine Explodes Off Plane in Shocking New Video
Published
The UPS plane which went down in Louisville, Kentucky back in November lost its engine during takeoff … and a shocking new video has captured the explosive moment.
Check out the clip released by the National Transportation Safety Board Tuesday … which shows the plane speeding down the runway before beginning its ascent — when an explosion sends the engine flying.
The plane keeps on moving and leaves the frame … though video released around the time of the crash captured it crashing behind a tire store shortly after this.
Fifteen people were killed after the cargo plane — headed for Hawaii — crashed. The NTSB also announced Tuesday that its investigation revealed a cracked part in a structure which connects the engine with the wing.
UPS retired all of its MD-11 planes — the model of the crashed cargo plane — though FedEx is reportedly still using them.
The NTSB still hasn’t released its final report … and likely won’t until later this year.
