On Tuesday evening, around 5:15 p.m. CST, UPS Flight 2976 deported Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky en route to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. However, the plane erupted into flames and crashed upon takeoff. Based on video of the incident currently circulating on social media, it appears as if it may have caught on fire before leaving the runway. CNN is reporting that it hit an industrial area less than a mile from the airport. (Language warning for the video below.)
