At least 3 killed, 11 injured after UPS plane crash in Kentucky, governor says

At least three people were killed and 11 injured after a UPS wide-body cargo plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, erupting into a massive fireball shortly after takeoff, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said on Tuesday (November 4).
"We believe we have at least three fatalities. I believe that number is going to get larger," Beshear said at a press briefing. "Anybody who has seen the images in the video know how violent this crash is."
The plane had three crew members on board, according to UPS.
Television station WLKY, a CBS affiliate, earlier showed video footage of the crash as it occurred. The plane took off with fire on one wing, and a huge fireball erupted as it hit the ground.
Several buildings in an industrial area beyond the runway were on fire after the crash, with thick black smoke rising into the evening sky.
