  • Investigation underway: A UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport Tuesday, leaving a fiery trail of destruction and a half- mile-long debris field. At least 12 people have died and others are injured, officials say, warning the death toll could climb as the investigation continues.

  • Black boxes recovered: An NTSB investigation team is on site at the crash location and has recovered the aircraft's "black boxes" - the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.

Yeah, none of the flights i have flown on had an engine fall off. But I have never flown on a UPS cargo plane, they may do things differently.

That model was dropped by passenger Airlines because of excessive maintenance issues. This flight was to Honolulu, had 34 000 gallons of fuel and it tore a strip one mile long from the runway.
