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.

It's probably worse.

In the 90s Boeing and McDonnell Douglas were the two major aircraft manufacturers in the US.

One was thriving, renowned for it's engineering excellency and the quality of the aircraft there produced: Boeing.

The other one was facing technical issues, development cost overruns, growing unit costs, and delays mostly due to leadership and management decisions: McDonnel Douglas.

In 1997 they merged, the new entity kept the name Boeing but most of the leadership positions were filled by executives coming from McDonnel Douglas.

For a lot of people this merger marks the moment Boeing started to spiral downwards.
