4. 9:40pm local time update Multiple dead and injured in UPS plane crash near Louisville airport

Source-https://www.lpm.org/news/2025-11-04/shelter-in-place-issued-in-louisville-following-reports-of-plane-crash


snip-"Beshear says the UPS plane was bound for Hawaii and contained 220,000 pounds of jet fuel. A shelter in place remains in effect for parts of Louisville.


snip-"While there was no hazardous cargo on board the UPS plane, Beshear said the plane hit Kentucky Petroleum Recycling, a business just beyond the runway, “pretty directly.”

“I can confirm that there was no specifically hazardous cargo on board the plane that would create an environmental issue for those around the site, but the impact and where it impacted could create those types of situations,” Beshear said. “So please, if there is a shelter in place, follow it.”

Beshear said the three confirmed fatalities did not involve the three-person crew, whose status remained unaccounted for. He added that first responders treated at least 11 people around the crash site for injuries, with some very significant and requiring hospitalization."
