Gov. Andy Beshear said he expects casualty numbers to grow after a plane crash near the Ali Airport in Louisville.

At least 12 people were killed and several others injured after a UPS plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville International Airport on Tuesday.

A second aviation expert Marco Chan says the footage shows “the left engine catching fire during take-off”, followed moments later by “a burst of smoke from the upper centre engine”. “A single engine fire can usually be managed, but losing two engines within seconds would have made the plane impossible to control or climb away,” he tells us.
