LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The number of victims from the UPS cargo plane crash has been confirmed at 14, with no one believed to be missing, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced Saturday.
The 13 victims found at the crash site matched the total number of missing persons reported to police, Greenberg stated in a post on X. “We believe the total number of victims will be 14,” including one individual who died Friday in a hospital, he added.
The Jefferson County coroner is working to identify the victims and will release their names as soon as the identifications are confirmed.
The crash occurred Tuesday at UPS Worldport when an MD-11 cargo plane bound for Honolulu went down. The three pilots onboard were killed. According to reports, a large fire developed in the left wing, and an engine separated during takeoff, causing the plane to crash into nearby businesses.
Following the accident, both UPS and FedEx decided on Friday to ground their fleets of MD-11 aircraft as a precautionary measure. MD-11 planes make up about 9% of UPS’s airline fleet and 4% of FedEx’s fleet.
