Video shows smoke, flames from UPS plane crash moments after takeoff

Video shows when witnesses saw the UPS plane crash near the Louisville, Kentucky, airport just moments after takeoff.

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, a United Parcel Service cargo plane crashed near Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said.

That death toll is likely to grow, the governor said.

According to a Louisville airport public safety officer, Jonathan Biven, 11 people were injured and taken to local hospitals.

Videos taken by witnesses show cars diverting and driving away from the scene after capturing the fireball that lights up moments after the crash. Another video captures plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky as they drive past emergency vehicles and closed streets.
