00:11We got a heavy black smoke south, heavy black smoke south of the field.
00:15Jesus Christ.
00:16They're saying it's going to be a possible thing crash, plane landed on top of the building,
00:21possibly from like waste management area.
00:23Holy cow dude, that's bad.
00:25Holy shit.
00:26A couple guard units at 47 are going to be approaching a very large area on fire line.
00:35What are you doing?
00:36Get the f*** out of the way.
00:38Back up.
00:43Back up.
00:45It just looks like the majority of the fire is going to be at this recycling facility here at 7001
00:52Great Lane.
00:52We're going to need law enforcement to shut down Great Lane.
00:54Radio 38.
00:56I'm at Great Lane.
00:57Traffic shut down here.
00:59Hey, what the f***?
01:01Move out of the way.
01:03You need to stop any general traffic in that area too.
01:06We say a lot of people at Stooges were trying to get out of here.
01:08So keep a hole open for them.
01:09We're going to push them towards our loot.
01:11Jesus Christ.
01:22We're going to try to push everybody this way, okay?
01:28Take a hole, man.
01:29Take a hole, man.
01:29Take a hole.
01:29Take a hole.
01:30Take a hole, man.
01:32Take a hole.
01:32Take a hole.
01:33Take a hole.
01:34You guys got this.
01:35I'm going to run around back.
01:36We're going to sprocket off.
01:37Ready?
01:37Ain't it critting this?
01:40Hey, guys.
01:41Y'all need to get out.
01:42Y'all need to go.
01:43Everybody needs to get out.
01:44Y'all need to go, guys.
01:45Come on.
01:45Let's go.
01:45We're pretty glad.
01:46We'll be on the news later.
01:47Let's go.
01:49We need you guys to get out, y'all.
01:51We're back here.
01:52We need to go, okay?
01:53I'm going to go get some gloves.
01:55Do me a favor.
01:56Just go back inside, guys.
01:57There's all kinds of debris around here.
01:59I am going in this.
02:00Okay.
02:02Good luck, bro.
02:03Do me a favor.
02:03Try to work your way that way and just get out of the area.
02:05Hey, stay away from those wires.
02:07I don't know.
02:09It's Rescue 46.
02:10I'm currently out of water, but I'm being supplied by Guard Rescue 6.
02:15At this time, I'm back up to a quarter of a tank now.
02:18All right.
02:18Make sure we're easing, bro.
02:19We're going to get out of it and cut down.
02:22What happened?
02:23All the way.
02:24Boom.
02:24Officers will eventually obtain footage caught by a dash cam on the same street.
02:28There are several never-before-seen angles we will soon witness in this video.
02:45Officers soon discover numerous factors that make this explosion an absolute worst-case scenario.
02:51There's some talking to you.
02:51Well, that's good, though.
02:52Get out of here.
02:53You can't.
02:54Okay.
02:54He is all the way down at the very end.
02:55I think it's where it's at.
02:57We're trying to get this road down so he can come this way, okay?
03:00Once he makes it to me, if he does, find him out.
03:04There's people that are still trapped, but they can't get through because the flames are
03:07right in the middle.
03:08How are we going to get out?
03:10I'm trying to figure out where it's probably the moment from because they need to get out.
03:13They're probably pushing them out of these bitches and they're thrown over.
03:15They're probably pushing them out of these bitches and they're thrown over.
03:15The police said somebody in a red hoodie, so there's people in that trailer and they
03:18need to know we're going to make bitches.
03:20I'm getting bothered.
03:34I know you're from UPS, but this is all going to probably be a giant scene and regardless
03:43of where you work, they're going to make you leave.
03:47Can I do this?
03:49Can I do this?
03:50Can I do this, man?
03:51Yeah.
03:52Can I do this, man?
03:52All right, run time.
03:53I'm ready to start.
03:54Yeah, if VMS comes down the red line, it's a pretty good shot.
03:57They can get around there.
03:59I'm coming in the way right now.
04:01I think it's all this cocaine thing.
04:03Or the plane's hitting off the truck.
04:13Watch the breeze.
04:14Watch out, Bob!
04:15Charge it!
04:18Yeah, all of them.
04:19They're all going to go up.
04:20Where's your car at?
04:22Oh, there.
04:23Yeah, yeah.
04:24Let's, let's...
04:25No, it's okay.
04:26Let's, let's please get out of here.
04:29Everybody gone.
04:30Let's go.
04:41Shut it down.
04:42Shut it down and get out.
04:44Just go all the way back there.
04:45We got this.
04:46We can't let you move.
04:48We just got here.
04:50We don't want people to start blowing up.
04:53I need you...
04:54Keep going back.
04:55Sorry, Bob.
04:56I'm back in there right.
04:57Bless you.
04:58See you.
04:58I'll get it.
05:58I'll be right back.
05:58I'm gonna be late.
05:59I was a phone call.
06:00All right, buddy.
06:01I have to get out!
06:03Our kids need to go to the hospital!
06:06Who?
06:06It was right...
06:07They came down over.
06:08Who's burned?
06:09Is anybody in here hurt?
06:10She's hurt.
06:11She's hurt?
06:11I can get you a mess over here.
06:13We want to get out of here.
06:14I understand, I can't see you that way right now.
06:16Can I see who's hurting here so I can help?
06:18You want to see me?
06:19Who's hurt?
06:20You guys have burns?
06:23I turned myself over top of them and got busted in the back of the head.
06:27I mean, everything's pretty much landed right on top of this car, man.
06:30I seen it coming towards us and I heard a boom and then I seen fire shoot me out and
06:35it went over top of us.
06:36I thought they were dead.
06:37They got some burns and stuff.
06:39The main thing I want to do is move you guys because there's more things that are going to explode
06:43over here.
06:44Move that way and we'll help you guys down there.
06:45Appreciate it, buddy.
06:46If there's something blowing up, we got to get off this block.
06:49Just go that way as far as you can.
06:51Those are like small little scrapes.
06:53We have some of the serious burns.
06:54We'll treat them here, but if they can move, they need to go to the casualty collection.
06:57There's a whole lot of dumbasses that they were just driving down Great Lane just so they could try and
07:00get closer to see it.
07:01I see something like that, I'm like, I don't want the opposite way.
07:03I don't want no part of that.
07:04We're not getting enough information.
07:12Oh, you're fighting.
07:15We're coming to the parking lot and the cocaine tanks are flying through.
07:18Can we get out this way?
07:19Yeah, yeah, we'll get you through here in just a second.
07:21Can we establish where the command post is and the best route of entry?
07:25Betty?
07:27I was going to say, I don't have time to talk, but I understand it's one of your aircraft.
07:31This is going to get a casualty collection for us.
07:32Gotcha.
07:33People keep pulling up and parking.
07:34We just need them out of the road.
07:35Yeah, let's go.
07:35Come on.
07:53I'll be honest, how many of those tanks are over there?
07:58A lot.
07:59I know, I don't like being this close.
08:02They're blowing up, I was watching over there.
08:04The flames are unreal.
08:05You can feel it here.
08:06Yeah, and we're what?
08:07I don't know.
08:08Five yards away.
08:09I bet if this truck pulled up, he was burned pretty bad.
08:11Yo, that's the one he, he was seven.
08:13Yeah, that's the one I called him.
08:15His clothes will burn off.
08:16Jesus Christ.
08:17You guys, this trucker here saying his son works on the other side of the fire.
08:20There are a bunch of guys off the stuff down there.
08:23Grade A Recycler said the plane pretty much almost landed on top of the building.
08:27Jesus Christ.
08:28This is wild, man.
08:29I never expected this.
08:30What are you doing?
08:31That's my truck that made me get out of my truck.
08:33That's his truck.
08:34I made him get out.
08:35Do your favor.
08:36Go around the corner there in case stuff is blowing up.
08:41Stop videoing and go, bro.
08:43I'm going to go with my truck.
08:44Well, go.
08:45Go.
08:49Did I say walk?
08:50Walk.
08:50It's a serious incident, bro.
08:52Walk.
09:06That's from the airport.
09:07Airport is yellow.
09:08No, the yellow is airport.
09:10That's air force.
09:11Are you all right?
09:12Yeah.
09:13Okay.
09:13We're okay.
09:14All right.
09:15I just, there's stuff going up in the air.
09:16We can grab my truck right there.
09:18There's just stuff going up in the air and I just don't want it.
09:20They're big.
09:21Yeah, here they go again.
09:22He got in his .
09:23Man, I'm too fat for this man.
09:25I need some water.
09:26That thing landed right on top of our place.
09:29I can't believe we're .
09:30You need a water?
09:31Yeah, if you don't mind.
09:32I'm too fat.
09:34I appreciate it so much, man.
09:39I would say no.
09:41Did we confirm that the lines are done?
09:42There's no confirmation yet.
09:44Command post is down here?
09:45Yes.
09:46Okay.
09:46He was taken off, so he's fully loaded with fuel.
09:49Yeah, and all these are already been flowing up soon.
09:51Can we get a monitor in there and start cooling these tanks?
09:53Well, they've been flowing, but I think we're pulling too much water off of everything.
09:56Okay, so water pressure is the issue?
09:58Are you in the building?
09:59Yes, sir.
09:59What's that noise you turn around?
10:00There was sparks where it hit the wire and the next thing in on fire.
10:03It was on fire as it was coming down.
10:07Oh, you don't say.
10:13Shelter in place, a five mile radius.
10:15Are we five miles away from it?
10:16Nope.
10:17Because everybody and their mom's calling me right now.
10:19They're trying to keep on taxable.
10:21Yeah, they've been hosing down the whole time, but it's heating back up.
10:24It looks like it's getting bigger again.
10:25Just be ready to watch out when that blows.
10:28We're going to check the city down.
10:30Yeah.
10:30TAC-1 is operational in reference to the plane crash.
10:34Repeating TAC-1 is operational for the plane crash.
10:37Police start to TV TAC-1.
10:40Why the f*** are we staying this close to this thing?
10:42Is it going to blow up any time?
10:43The petroleum recycling place.
10:45Oh, is that the plane crash?
10:46They've been blown.
10:46Yeah.
10:47We need to back up.
10:48They're backing up.
10:49Oh.
10:50Yeah.
10:50You got a big white tree stand?
10:52Yeah.
10:52We're going to the petroleum forms.
10:53Okay.
10:54C-35?
10:55Yeah.
10:55Back up.
10:56Air 30 to command.
10:57Just for your heads up, grade lane looks good.
10:59They're clearing out Critton and Drive back to the north.
11:01Fern Valley is shut down at 65.
11:03So your traffic's clearing out.
11:05Looks good.
11:10I thought they were all dead, dude.
11:12I thought Dwight's kids were the right place.
11:14Hey, back up.
11:15We're not joking.
11:16Radio 10 unit on scene.
11:18Looks like they're saying that there's a burn victim at 4612 Mount Avenue.
11:22Run over his body.
11:23I never dreamed that this would freaking happen.
11:25We got only the MB-11 that was taking off.
11:28It seems to be a total loss at this point.
11:30I hear there are three souls on board.
11:31The engine is something at the end of the runway that came off.
11:36Because MB-11 has the one engine in the tail, two on the back side, one of them fell off.
11:40The NTSB later released an update on the cause of the crash, which we'll cover at the end.
11:44In this moment, officials are relying primarily on incoming civilian and security footage.
11:52Bro, get the f*** away from here.
11:53Like, turn around.
11:56Bro, hold on, hold on, hold on.
11:57I think it's going to crash, bro.
11:59Holy s***.
12:02Holy s***.
12:06Holy s***.
12:08Cam, they're dead.
12:09They are dead, bro.
12:12Multiple airport security cameras captured the crash in the immediate emergency response as a charred engine laid along the runway.
12:18Although the MD-11 is designed to continue flying after losing an engine, later investigations and the yet-to-be
12:23-seen shocking footage of the crash explains why this aircraft likely could not keep altitude.
12:29It'll probably shut down for weeks or not much.
12:31Hey, man, let's go.
12:33Let's wrap it up and go, please.
12:34Do you want to go back even further to Adderloo, just in case some of this petroleum stuff goes further?
12:39It's exposed.
12:40They're having a lot of problems.
12:42Let's go back and find a parking lot towards Adderloo.
12:44Do you all see the hatches right there?
12:45No, the only big ones right there.
12:47There's a small building one right here.
12:48I know they're having a hard time getting some people on the east side of this fire.
12:51If they can get on waste management property, we could probably guide them around this boundary road and there may
12:56be access to the east side of this fire if they're trying to get to it.
12:59Guiding the fire department to it?
13:01Yeah, anybody.
13:01What do you need?
13:04A load of water, I mean.
13:12Let's just try to make sure no one's in there.
13:14If you're in here, make yourself know we need to evacuate.
13:17Just hang out back here, okay?
13:19If you said it was grade A auto, okay, hang out back here.
13:23What was he saying?
13:24He said he knows three people that were working in grade A auto.
13:27So we're getting people out?
13:28I guess we're going to look because the fire department's obviously busy.
13:30We'll probably just try to get him out of here.
13:32This overview, obtained at a later date, shows the devastation left behind by the crash.
13:36The damage spans over half a mile and with fuel leaks spread throughout, officers need to be cautious and quick
13:41to save anybody who may be trapped.
13:43Air 30, the auto park unit.
13:44You might be able to go through the grade A all the way back past all the piles of stuff.
13:49Jesus Christ, man.
13:50Last thing I expected of the day.
13:53Jesus Christ.
13:58Can you go to mutual aid one?
14:00The fire department will be on that channel and we'll have you guide them through waste management.
14:05Okay, mutual aid one, okay?
14:06You said casualties.
14:07I had one burnt pretty well.
14:09All his clothes were burnt off.
14:10And he's gone?
14:11Yes, he's been transported.
14:13You had two total?
14:14Well, a family with kids in the back seat of a van.
14:16I don't know how many kids were back there, but they took off.
14:40I don't think there's any buildings back here, I think this is all junkyard.
14:45Is there a way to get through right there or no?
14:46No, there was no pain.
14:47Okay, yeah, never mind.
14:48Just be right back.
14:49Bro, it's a scene.
14:50I have a movie.
14:53It's getting hot again.
14:54I can feel it.
14:55I guess it's a good thing it wasn't a passenger plane.
14:57And again, it doesn't make any better.
14:59My girlfriend was flying by today.
15:02Oh, you talked to her, I said?
15:03Okay, again.
15:04Yeah, wow.
15:05That is shocking.
15:07It's hard to believe you just had that event.
15:09Yeah, thank God, you know.
15:10At least we get to practice.
15:12It's crazy that it hit what it did.
15:13We just did a drill two weeks ago.
15:15We're on to the top of the command.
15:16Just to advise you.
15:17The fire is worse than we are in.
15:19We're trying to get water back on the fire.
15:21We had to shut the line down.
15:22Yeah, something caught down here and it's worse than it was.
15:25Engine 73, we're responding on mutual aid one.
15:27Headed to waste management.
15:29Okay, if you have a command car that's over here right now,
15:32that way I can guide them back to make sure you can make it back and you don't get stuck.
15:36That'd probably be the best bet.
15:39We're trying to go around the fire because there's people that are trapped back here
15:42and we're trying to figure a way to get them out.
15:44We don't know how far south the fire went.
15:45It looks like it stopped right here, so.
15:46No, bro, there's nothing police can do.
15:48Right now, I think it's search and rescue right now.
15:51What do you think, bud?
15:52I think it's not good.
15:55That's part of the plane.
15:57That big piece of metal right there, that's a wing.
16:02Let's get out of here.
16:04Watch your explosions.
16:07Yeah, or tires.
16:08Like I said, it's probably, I guess, I don't know if this is a good place for this to happen
16:11or a bad place because these are all wrecked total cars, so.
16:13I mean, look at this guy, you can't even see this guy.
16:22There's a plane part right there.
16:23It looks like the waste management just opened a gate just off of grade lane,
16:28just down from the command post to see if you can get access to the property from there.
16:32They're trying to get a fire truck company to be the ones that respond to it.
16:41Ooh, that's warm.
16:42Oh, yeah.
16:42It's 3-0-7-24 major.
16:45EMS is asking if you can stay with that victim on melting.
16:50Do you want to see if anybody wants us to, like, get his body over here?
16:56Oh, no.
16:56No.
16:57No.
16:58Probably not.
16:59No.
16:59No.
16:59Just leave him.
17:00Yeah.
17:00We don't know what's burning.
17:02It could explode over there.
17:03Should we, like, check the poles or something?
17:05Nah, he's dead.
17:05Nah, he's dead, bro.
17:07Yeah.
17:08Hey.
17:09Hey, go through.
17:10This way.
17:12Yeah, we can check this building here.
17:13There's a gate open right here.
17:15Yeah, there's a gate open.
17:19Is everybody down there?
17:22Do you guys have anybody that's hurt?
17:23Nobody that's hurt?
17:24So far.
17:25Okay.
17:25No, sir.
17:26All right.
17:26A couple minor bumps and stuff and nothing.
17:29Okay.
17:30Okay, good.
17:30Good.
17:31I said everybody was okay.
17:32I said nobody.
17:33No, they're missing a bunch in the lot.
17:34Hey, they possibly have two people in the cellar.
17:37We made it to the other side of the fire.
17:39We're at 4566 Melton.
17:41There's a lot of people here, obviously, but they're safe for the most part.
17:43We're still doing a search and rescue though.
17:47I'm okay.
17:48I got those out of the crackheads car.
17:53Alex.
17:54I'm on the out loop now.
17:56I got a body down on fire.
17:57I got a body down on fire.
17:58I don't know if you can see that.
17:59Where?
17:59Right there.
18:00Right across the road.
18:01That one right there?
18:01There's about 40 people in that direction.
18:06Oil or diesel?
18:08I've got family on Knop Avenue.
18:10Okay.
18:11They said whatever happened crashed on Gilmore Lane.
18:15Could you move your truck, please?
18:17Could you please move your truck?
18:19Hey Sarge, if you just want to hold them at 65,
18:22then we can flush this out in just a second.
18:24HSO 22 radio.
18:26We got multiple obvious 1080s are burning at the auto lot.
18:29Ain't nobody in there surviving.
18:31No, we need to get in that building.
18:32Careful, this right here is fuel.
18:35Fantastic.
18:35Ain't nobody surviving that, man.
18:37Of course I get my flashlight, too.
18:44It's a unit who's in multiple casualties.
18:46Can you advise a number?
18:48Dude, we've counted two or three so far.
18:51Yes.
18:52The guy that I told you name on, we got a hold up.
18:54You got a hold up.
18:55There's only three people that we're missing, yes.
18:58Serena, Megan, and Shallah.
19:00I don't see anybody back here.
19:02No, but we need to get in there.
19:03We're going to go ahead.
19:04We need irons.
19:05We need irons.
19:06Let's get over the fire for a second.
19:11Look like in the city's on this roadway.
19:13If we give this one more flush, we'll be able to get it.
19:15But we need some fire trucks to help us.
19:19Metro police.
19:21Metro police, call up, call up.
19:25This thing goes.
19:28I just don't want nobody hiding in here.
19:32Yeah.
19:32They didn't say they got everybody out here.
19:34The guy out here said they're only missing three people that they work here.
19:37They don't know how many customers there are.
19:39Hey, y'all need to go.
19:43We have them do immediate staging out here in one of these gas stations somewhere out there.
19:49How about the elementary school that's off of Ohio?
19:51That's a really good idea.
19:52All right, that's fine.
19:53And that'll keep them off their hair in the airplane.
19:56Can we maybe just send some PIOs out there to do a real quick basic briefing?
20:00We don't know right now.
20:02We need to come up with the station.
20:04And tell them that we'll have an official briefing in about two hours.
20:06I wouldn't give them the time.
20:08I would just say as quick as we can get someone in control of this.
20:12If that's the media, we can put a TFR in place.
20:14That's us right there, so I can request that.
20:16No, Channel 32 is flying around.
20:17I saw them getting off Fern Valley Road.
20:19I'd do a TFR if it was me.
20:21Can we get a TFR in place except for emergency aircraft only?
20:24People are really stressed.
20:25They did not get out.
20:26They are still in the cloud.
20:27I don't know if that fence is still charged.
20:29It might be electric.
20:30You should be careful.
20:30What about that hole right there?
20:32There is a third casualty there.
20:34Excuse me, Byron.
20:35We see lights and people screaming and whistling at some wood line.
20:40Hey, we might as well go out.
20:47We don't have to get out.
20:48Go!
20:49Go!
21:01Let's go through to the other side.
21:04I'm going to shut down the lambs.
21:08Oh, there's another fence.
21:11When you get through, hold this one.
21:12Yeah, I got you.
21:14Are you hurt?
21:17No.
21:18Did you see it?
21:19Okay.
21:20I have a gentleman that just came out of waste management.
21:22Severely burned.
21:23You can send us a wagon.
21:24That'd be great.
21:25I got to steal a blanket.
21:28But I'd rather an ambulance come to you all than you all trying to drive crazy to get to where
21:33we're
21:33going, okay?
21:34Come over here and hang out, okay?
21:35I'm going to.
21:36We're going to try to.
21:36We're helping.
21:37We're helping him.
21:38Just hang out.
21:39I know you're cold, okay?
21:40Will this aluminum blanket help at all?
21:42What's that?
21:42Aluminum blanket?
21:43Uh, he's going to stick to his skin.
21:45Uh, not as bad as I'm cold.
21:48I'm not bad at all.
21:49He's good at you.
21:51You're a L.S. stuff.
21:52Can you open your mouth?
21:53Okay, all right.
21:54Where does it hurt right now?
21:56No, I'm finally here.
21:58Just here?
22:00Do you know what happened?
22:01I don't know.
22:02Okay, okay.
22:03All right.
22:04He's got burns.
22:05He's got many tongue feeling.
22:07Can you swallow it?
22:08Okay, good, good.
22:08Let me see your eyeball out here.
22:10I can't see it.
22:11I can't see it.
22:12I can't see it.
22:13I can't see it.
22:14You got a medical coming?
22:15I heard a question, but I don't know.
22:18No, I'm asking if y'all can let him know that they're,
22:20what he said, they're coming out of the tree lines and stuff.
22:22Yeah.
22:23No one else has flagged us down and we've been out here,
22:25so I'm assuming if somebody was over there, they would have just come to us.
22:28They pulled up to us, said he burned in the back seat, and so.
22:32I've only seen that guy, but they said people were coming out of the trees like being burned,
22:36so I don't know, we might have more.
22:38Did you hear him say they weren't making any headway?
22:40Yeah.
22:40That's not good.
22:41The jet fuel burns hot, bro.
22:43And the water does not put that out.
22:44As day turned to night, the smoke persisted.
22:47Several people were still reported missing,
22:48and traffic filled with civilians heading to the airport to pick up loved ones had to be diverted.
22:52The amount of work that needs to be done is far from over.
22:55Rescue crews must continue to urgently search for the dozens still missing,
22:58inching deeper into the fiery terrain in hopes that others can still be discovered and saved.
23:01You're going to have to go right, man.
23:03You're going to have to go right.
23:04You're going to have to go right.
23:06I know, it's a plane crash, and it sucks.
23:08Call Ashley, my beautiful wifey.
23:09Calling Ashley, my beautiful wifey, mobile.
23:12Hey, can you just put on, send a message out to the girls and you?
23:17Just put a message on Facebook, you've talked to me, I'm fine.
23:20People's text messaged me every five seconds and I can't get it done.
23:23Just ignore it.
23:25I need it on in the group chat.
23:26Okay, all right, that's fine.
23:27So, it's only one that should matter.
23:29Ignore everybody else, just don't think they're wrong, okay?
23:31All right, bye.
23:32Also, possibly someone trapped at 4511 Mount Avenue, a disabled gentleman.
23:37Water right here.
23:38Walk out those questions.
23:39I want to shut down the rim.
23:40Because cars are still trying to get through here, and they won't want to stay.
23:43I want time to get out.
23:44He's stuck in a game.
23:46You know, a video is back there.
23:48Have you seen anybody else?
23:49He lives back there.
23:50I go here.
23:50Don't go back there.
23:51Run that way.
23:52And he said he want to hit for his ambulance.
23:54I couldn't stop him, though.
23:55I tell him to move back.
23:56I don't know where he is.
23:58There we go.
23:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:59And one more?
24:00One more.
24:01He's all the way down there.
24:04These people stopping on the off ramp from 65 South Outer Loop.
24:09They're getting out of their cars, watching everything.
24:11So, it's the same.
24:12It's back stuff up.
24:13Somebody only hit my car.
24:14Officers, you have a crash in a smoke area.
24:16Please put on your respirators with the C-BIRM filter.
24:20You know, this was a break all the way down,
24:21but that's...
24:22Yeah, there you know what.
24:23Myself and two arson investigators
24:25were going to be making an entry to home.
24:26Stay body's in there.
24:27Give me the light, real quick.
24:28I need this a rehab truck.
24:29Where does it need me?
24:31No, there isn't anybody else.
24:34No.
24:35Oh, it's a damn top.
24:35I'm just picking up, Sasha.
24:37I don't remember.
24:38I'm going to be caught in a spot.
24:39We ain't going to bring through that truck.
24:41There you are.
24:41I'm going to be caught in a spot.
24:43Get out of here.
24:46Hey, put the phone down and get the hell out!
24:48Now!
24:51Hey, we got to get this house.
24:53It's starting to blow, but we got to get in there.
25:00Police!
25:00Police!
25:02There's nobody's out of here.
25:03Can we get in there?
25:06Hey, watch that fuel.
25:07Watch that fuel, bro.
25:09You ready to fill out that exposure for Marcus?
25:10For what?
25:11For chemicals and stuff.
25:12Oh, yeah.
25:12You know, so much stuff's in the air right now.
25:14Yeah.
25:14I don't know if you felt it.
25:15When I was getting out of my car, there's a light layer of soot on my car getting out.
25:19Feels like we're in the apocalypse right now, man.
25:20Supposed to get on a plane next month.
25:22So, I'm like, yeah.
25:23I feel like there's been, like, an uptake of a plane.
25:26Oh, they're hurt.
25:27Is he burned as well?
25:28No, he just tired.
25:29Okay.
25:30She burned?
25:30Yeah.
25:31Okay.
25:32Your brother?
25:33What's your brother's name?
25:34Carlos.
25:35Okay, Carlos was just here earlier, and he's on his way to the hospital.
25:38Yeah.
25:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:44Repeating, wear your aspirators with seaburn filters.
25:48We can't radiate.
25:49If you have a seaburn filter, put it on.
25:51We're in the fallout.
25:52Yeah, mine's at my desk.
25:55Oh, okay.
25:57He's right here.
25:58He's in there.
26:00They did give him a little bit.
26:01While this woman appears fortunate enough to find her loved ones,
26:04a somber reality will strike the hearts of many.
26:06Move up to the next intersection.
26:07They're all going out down there.
26:09Those motherf***ers.
26:10Jesus Christ, you're idiots.
26:11Do you have a seaburn filter?
26:13Yeah.
26:13Throw it on.
26:14Here?
26:15Yes.
26:21It's closed.
26:23We have an airplane crash.
26:25Yeah, I know.
26:25I need all y'all off the street.
26:26You're blocking the main egress for fire.
26:29You cannot park here.
26:31I need to ask one question.
26:32Yes, sir.
26:33I got a UPS phone.
26:34Sir, you are blocking the main egress for fire to get to victims.
26:38I don't care about the rig right now.
26:41UPS is going to be shut down for the foreseeable future.
26:43Yes, sir.
26:44Do not park here.
26:45Let's go.
26:46Thank you for your understanding.
26:48Yeah, everybody, monkey see, monkey do.
26:51I got to have these rigs out of here.
26:52It's a mass casualty, okay?
26:54What?
26:54Actual command notes.
26:55Way down there.
26:56Come out of that way.
26:57Okay, do anything.
26:57Just keep walking, bro.
26:58All these folks in the guy that way.
27:00Who is this guy?
27:01His mom works here, and he came here looking for her.
27:03He's been staying up there for a while.
27:04Oh, shit.
27:05Should we at least knock on that?
27:10Metro Police!
27:12I think that's a turbine.
27:14Yo, I think that's a turbine.
27:15Yeah, I'm here.
27:16I'm here.
27:17Okay, 340, David.
27:214511 is currently on fire.
27:234511, not blood fire.
27:24Must be sent to the train.
27:25One-hour-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man
27:29-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man-man.
27:30The only way to get out of here is to go through the way, man.
27:32No, you know.
27:32They're not going to be able to get out of here.
27:33We cut a hole in the fence.
27:36So we've checked there.
27:37We haven't checked in.
27:38That's not there.
27:39That's not there.
27:40Carver, here's the corner.
27:40It's gone, yeah.
27:41The only one we haven't checked is that building, that corner building.
27:45And I knocked on it, but-
27:46I mean, do we have anything to force it?
27:48I said we could get out of here.
27:48Yeah.
27:49What a s**t girl.
27:50I mean, but this is nothing you can never put-
27:53Even if we could have changed it to the exact same scenario, it'd be a s**t girl.
27:56Oh yeah.
27:56Man, there's been a plane crash.
27:58You gotta go straight.
27:59It's okay.
27:59Like not melting in industrial, or?
28:02It's in an industrial area.
28:04It's in an industrial area, but off airport?
28:06Yeah.
28:07So LMPD is pushing back against having media come out to the airport because they don't want
28:12to go to the aircates.
28:13So we can either keep it at Miner's Lane, which would be a logistically nightmare for
28:17us to deal with.
28:18And I think we should get to Miner's Day because we are the biggest player in all this.
28:23And LMPD can just suck it up.
28:25Gotta go, ma'am.
28:26I'm going to the mayor.
28:26Okay.
28:27I'm going to the mayor to the stage of the mayor's press secretary.
28:30Uh, let me see if he can escort you.
28:32One second.
28:33This is the mayor's press secretary.
28:34Can you give him an escort?
28:35Okay.
28:36Ma'am, follow this car.
28:38She's going to give you an escort.
28:39Pull up a little bit and you can go.
28:40Okay, turn your flashers on for me.
28:41It's shut, it's shut down.
28:45What do you need?
28:47No, there's a plane crash.
28:49Okay.
28:50Yeah.
28:50You gotta go.
28:51You gotta go.
28:52You gotta go.
28:53You gotta go.
28:56Stop.
28:57Stop.
28:58Stop.
28:58Stop.
28:58Stop.
28:59Stop.
29:00Stop.
29:01Stop.
29:01Stop.
29:01Stop.
29:02Stop.
29:04Come on, man.
29:06Can't not park there.
29:08Serato.
29:09Serato.
29:10Plane crash.
29:11Serato.
29:13Arrecto.
29:13Arrecto.
29:14Arrecto.
29:14No derecha.
29:15Oh, unit.
29:16Ocenar is advising 50 to 100 yards from the fire.
29:20There's a...
29:21There's a wreck.
29:23There's a what?
29:24Don't look at him.
29:27Don't look at him.
29:27Y'all got somebody over here?
29:28Y'all trying to find somebody?
29:30There's somebody coming over here.
29:31Are you a PO?
29:33Yeah.
29:33Have you ever seen a dead body?
29:34Yeah.
29:35Yeah.
29:36All right.
29:36Y'all asking like, are they collecting dead people?
29:38Uh...
29:39Can you let radio know that we're getting a report that says there's another possible
29:42trapped individual at 4-6-5-9?
29:45Nob.
29:46You can't get through on Nob at all.
29:48So, uh, if they're down here, they're stuck.
29:51Nob, you can make it through, but Nob, you cannot.
29:53Well, better get to using your feet there.
29:55There's only one big one down there.
29:56Can't park there, sir.
29:58I'm sorry.
29:58No, I'm sorry to park.
29:59Yeah, what you need?
30:00I'm the plan manager for the massive gas plant down here.
30:03Oh, yeah, okay.
30:03I gotta get there.
30:04Turn your hazards on.
30:05Go around my car.
30:0614th grade.
30:06You could check.
30:07They said a van was hit in the parking lot unknown.
30:10It was occupied.
30:11You made it all the way to Nob as far as we could.
30:14We've kicked in every door we could back there.
30:16Double fenced in and we broke our bolt putters.
30:18Let us see.
30:19There's still something fire.
30:20We've checked every building.
30:21The only building that we couldn't check inside was one you knocked on that was on fire,
30:24but that was the only building that we couldn't get in.
30:26Well, 46-59 Nob.
30:28I think it's the most.
30:29Yeah, it's way at the end.
30:30Well, they said that there's people there.
30:32Why don't we get there?
30:33If we were on Nob, we would go that way down Nob.
30:37So we have to go around the fire and cut in the opposite.
30:39Same way we just came in, but the second one left, we go right.
30:41It's at the very end.
30:42No, you can't go on the other side.
30:44No, we did though.
30:45As I'm saying, we went through a hole in the fence.
30:46Do we know anybody that's still over there that can talk to the guy that's talking to his son?
30:50No, I'm thinking about it down there.
30:52That's right.
31:00Is there anybody that was supposed to be in there?
31:03In where?
31:04In your building.
31:05There's a couple of Mexicans back there.
31:06Yeah, so my building, and then there's another building attached to it.
31:09There's a truck mechanic shop, and then those guys, your building's good.
31:14Yeah, my building's good.
31:15Yeah, no damage, no nothing.
31:16Okay.
31:16See, I just hear somebody way the down there.
31:18Is there anybody hurt that went down there that you know of by chance?
31:21About down this road?
31:21My street, we put out a guy who was like basically melting, and then went to the hospital.
31:26He went down.
31:27These guys on the flatbed of that truck, wasn't he?
31:28We just had a report that somebody was hurt that was down here at the end on the left.
31:31Somebody called and said they had a disabled guy that was stuck in the house.
31:34Yeah, he was stuck in the house down here.
31:35Can you make contact with the male? He's on the phone with his son. He's trapped somewhere,
31:39we can't find him.
31:40I could run down there to Catalupe, Texas Roadhouse, and get him.
31:43I don't have any problems.
31:46We got told that there's some people down here that just me, man. There's a bunch of guys over
31:51here, but man, I got answers, man. I'm having a hard time breathing.
31:54So y'all drove over here?
31:56No, we walked.
31:57There's about three full guys over here.
31:58They were trying to drive their trucks out.
32:00Yeah, mate.
32:00If you don't mind coming, because I can't out-breathing.
32:03I'm having trouble.
32:04Okay.
32:04Are we going to be here all night?
32:06There's a gentleman here, he says he has severe asthma, doesn't have an inhaler,
32:11and he's needing some help.
32:12The only way to access us is by walking.
32:15If there's anyone on foot, they'll be able to help us out.
32:18623, I don't really want to make contact with the two messes inside.
32:21Hey, fire, good fire.
32:22Working on closed lunch, I'm getting out.
32:24Yeah, all power around here should be off by now.
32:26Where was that 1080 you were talking about, Bosley? Was it back there?
32:29Bosley?
32:29Hold on.
32:30We got the two down there.
32:31Yeah.
32:31Yeah, yeah.
32:32This is a lot G.
32:33Right, but I couldn't afford to walk down to the road.
32:36Jesus Christ, man.
32:38If you're able to walk, we can walk you to the ambulances.
32:40They can get you out of here.
32:41I don't know if I can walk that far, man.
32:44Can I drive my truck?
32:45Not all the way out the Great Lane, because it's blocked.
32:48But you can drive a good darn freaking half mile.
32:50We're going to catch up with them, but whenever you get done, hop in your truck and just drive as
32:54hard as you can.
32:55Okay.
32:55There's someone said they're going to be waiting at the entrance of landfill.
32:58He has a broken leg.
33:00He's a 50-year-old black male wearing a hard hat and a black puffer jacket.
33:04That's like one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
33:07Yeah.
33:07Yeah, they did.
33:10Dude.
33:12I know.
33:16Oh, dude.
33:17Dude.
33:19He was toasted, man.
33:22There's probably the landing gear impact right there.
33:25Took the trees clean with it.
33:26Is this Knucklehead coming?
33:29He understood to drive down here, right?
33:32He said he was going to drive.
33:33For accountability, all 6th and 7th Division units that were searching have exited.
33:38We're on great lane now.
33:39We haven't.
33:416-foot land radio, myself and 6.3.
33:44Adam, we're still over on not happening.
33:46Go ahead.
33:47I thought you were driving down.
33:48I thought I was too.
33:49But the only reason why I was paying a little is just because really the air in my building
33:52is worse than it is out here now because all that fuel is smoke got trapped in it.
33:58The way that we're going to take you to the medics is heavy in jet fuel and it's not good
34:04to breathe in.
34:05So what I need you to do is can you hold your breath while we get through there and we'll
34:09kind
34:09of hightail?
34:13Well, I'm going to walk with you, okay?
34:17I'll get you, buddy.
34:18We're going to get you out of the bowl.
34:19If you feel lightheaded or anything, you got to let us know, okay?
34:21Hey, when we start walking through this debris field, somebody else get on his side and hold
34:24his other arm.
34:24All right, so this is where it gets-
34:26Is this just a junkyard or just a debris?
34:27It is.
34:27Debris.
34:28No, this is the debris, actually.
34:30Yeah, that's the land in here right there.
34:31So listen, try not to breathe in as much as you can right here, okay?
34:35Careful, careful, careful, careful.
34:37There you go.
34:37Just take deep breaths, okay?
34:39You're good to breathe right now.
34:39We're out of that field.
34:40He was in the far yards when it happened.
34:43So I don't know how much exposure he has, but he didn't just walk away.
34:46Oh, I'm sorry.
34:47Officers likely pulled back as firefighters continued to battle the flames.
34:50However, as official search efforts slowed, family members of the missing kept looking,
34:54hoping for answers.
34:55I started driving to every hospital after that.
34:57They are not helping at all.
34:58I stopped her for two hours.
35:00It took them two hours for them to actually, to send them a picture.
35:03I was the first person there to call them.
35:06I was the first person there as soon as they said to be there.
35:09Oh, did you go to the academy already, 29-11?
35:11Yeah, she said she was there first.
35:13You checked the hospitals, you said?
35:14Yes, I went to every hospital.
35:16They said that they're not in no hospitals.
35:18Well, right now, it does say that there's four people that are unidentified,
35:21but they're not saying that there's a child.
35:24Okay.
35:24And I just know that they were together.
35:26Do you know around what time that they headed over there?
35:28They, my dad, that's how he makes his money.
35:30He goes back and forth starting at eight o'clock in the morning.
35:33She couldn't go to daycare because she was sick.
35:35And you said the phone is still peeing over there?
35:37Yes, it's still.
35:37But sometimes he leaves in the car?
35:39Yes.
35:39The woman died as she was in the hospital.
35:42They said when they jumped out the window, they couldn't really see where he ran to.
35:46Yep, please.
35:49Okay, that was our hurdle.
35:51That is down.
35:52It is in our shape.
35:53The National Transportation Safety Board and the ATF and FBI and whoever other investigators
36:00are down there are handling this investigation.
36:03There is nothing for you to do down there.
36:06So he's recommending that you just go home and go.
36:09Okay.
36:11There's nothing else we can do.
36:12That's easier said than done, obviously.
36:13I know that's stressful.
36:14Can you do just one thing for me?
36:16Sure.
36:17Can you take my phone and just go?
36:20Can you just go to where his car is?
36:21We're not allowed down there.
36:22That's where we're at.
36:23Can you give it to me?
36:25She's three years old.
36:26I can't go.
36:27I'm sorry.
36:28I don't want to go home with no answers.
36:30I know.
36:30I can't.
36:31We have no answers for this.
36:32They can't tell you if one of the four identified as a child.
36:35No.
36:35We've been told they've all been adults at first time.
36:38Because there was three, at least on the plane, and then one adult on the room.
36:42As soon as we know something, they'll reach out to you.
36:47Okay.
36:48What's your name now?
36:49Shirlene.
36:50Shirlene what?
36:51Yeah, Fettin.
36:52Tragedy would strike Shirlene and many others.
36:54Her father and daughter were found among the 15 total deceased along with dozens injured.
36:58The deceased includes Shirlene's father, Lou Fettin, 47.
37:01Shirlene's daughter, Kimberly Asa, 3.
37:03Trinadette Chavez, 37.
37:05Megan Washburn, 35.
37:07And John Locks, 52.
37:08The three that were mentioned by a co-worker to officials as unaccounted for.
37:11Ella Petty Wharton, 31.
37:12Angela Anderson, 45.
37:14Carlos Fernandez, 52.
37:15Tony Crane, 65.
37:17John Spray Jr., 45.
37:19Matthew Sweets, 37.
37:20He was severely burned and passed away days later.
37:22The last and most recent death was Alain Rodriguez Colina, 50.
37:26Who succumbed to his injuries several weeks later on Christmas Day.
37:29Those on board included Captain Dana Diamond, 62.
37:31Captain Richard Wartenberg, 57.
37:33And First Officer Lee Truitt, 45.
37:35Investigations ensued and footage from several other sources were eventually released.
37:39and I can't see no other sources make any of any of a co-worker.
38:08I can't see any of them.
38:23Recent NTSB updates show the MD-11's engine detaching and passing over the wing during takeoff.
38:28Investigators found fatigue cracks and overstress failure in the engine pylon's spherical bearing, which mounts the engine to the aircraft.
38:34Despite its design to handle a lost engine, the damage to the wing and flames potentially entering a second engine
38:39were likely causes for a failed takeoff, reaching speeds of 212 miles an hour.
38:43There was likely nothing the crew could do to avoid a crash.
38:46An NTSB report notes the engine pylon is typically inspected every five years.
38:50Reports indicate this aircraft underwent maintenance in San Antonio from September 3rd to October 18th, 2025,
38:55about two weeks prior to the crash.
38:57Investigators are now examining whether the pylons were inspected, whether negligence occurred, and if regulations need updating.
39:02In the latest update on January of 2026, UPS announced it will be retiring its entire fleet of MD-11s
39:08As a result of this crash, other large companies, like FedEx, have also temporarily grounded their MD-11 fleets as
39:14a precaution.
39:14Today, several families affected have opened up lawsuits against UPS.
39:18There are also several GoFundMe links for those affected.
39:20So many that GoFundMe has collected available links into a single URL, available in the description below.
39:26Ultimately, all three flight crew were killed along with another 12 victims on the ground.
39:3022 more were injured.
