Digest more
Officials in Louisville, Kentucky, believe the total number of people killed after a UPS plane crashed in a ball of flames earlier this week will stand at 14.
United Parcel Service has decided to ground its MD-11 fleet “out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of safety” following the tragic crash of one of its cargo jets, the company said Friday.
UPS said in a Nov. 7 statement it would temporarily ground the MD-11 fleet effective immediately. The decision comes after the Nov. 4 crash of a UPS cargo flight in Louisville, where at least 14 people died, including three crew members, and others are still missing as of Nov. 7. It’s the deadliest crash in UPS Airlines history.
