On Tuesday, a UPS cargo plane crashed at Louisville International Airport in Kentucky after losing its left engine. Images before the accident show the engine found on the runway. The incident caused a massive fire, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 people, and authorities continue to search for possible victims in the affected buildings. Following the tragedy, UPS and FedEx temporarily suspended flights of MD-11 aircraft, in accordance with Boeing's recommendations, to ensure safety. The aircraft, an MD-11F, was initially used as a passenger plane and was transferred to UPS in 2006. Authorities are investigating the causes of the accident, confirming that the left engine caught fire and detached during takeoff.
