Search For Victims Of UPS Cargo Plane Crash Continues

The flames consumed the plane and spread to nearby businesses, killing at least 12 people, including a child.

The search for victims has entered a third day following the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky.

Investigators are continuing to gather information to determine why the aircraft caught fire and lost an engine during take-off.

The flames consumed the plane and spread to nearby businesses, killing at least 12 people, including a child. The plane, with three people on board had been cleared for take-off on Tuesday when the fire developed in the left wing.

Determining what caused the inferno could take investigators more than a year. The cockpit voice recorder and data recorder have been recovered and the engine was discovered on the airfield.

Authorities expect the death toll to rise as the search for several others continues. Two people are currently in critical condition in the burn unit while 18 others were treated and discharged.
