NTSB is investigating the crash of a UPS cargo plane in Louisville

• The UPS plane experienced a crash during landing in Louisville, resulting in the deaths of 13 people.
• The NTSB is investigating the causes of the disaster, including a repeated sound in the cockpit.
• The plane was carrying 38,000 gallons of fuel and crashed into a building.

The UPS planes experienced disasters in Louisville, Kentucky, on November 5, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 13 people, including three pilots. According to a statement from a member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Todd Inman, a repeated sound was heard in the cockpit for 25 seconds when the crew was trying to control the plane during landing.

The sound began to be heard approximately 37 seconds after the crew started the engines, and lasted until the moment of impact. Inman noted that this signal likely indicated a fire in the left wing of the plane.

The MD-11 plane was carrying 38,000 gallons of fuel when it crashed into two buildings, including a UPS facility, and caused an explosion of containers filled with fuel. The investigation is ongoing, and recordings from the cockpit will not be publicly available for several months.

Among the victims of the disaster were Louisnes Fedon and his three-year-old daughter Kimberli Asa, who were found near the debris.
