LOUISVILLE, Ky. – An array of footage from mobile phones, vehicle dashcams, and surveillance systems recorded the harrowing last moments of a UPS cargo aircraft engulfed in flames before its catastrophic crash near Louisville’s airport. The incident claimed at least 12 lives and left destruction in its wake.

These recordings offer investigators and the public multiple perspectives on the devastating Tuesday crash in an area surrounded by scrapyards and UPS operations. The grim reality is leaving little hope for any survivors.

The aircraft received clearance to depart from UPS Worldport, the company’s main aviation hub, when a fire erupted in its left wing, leading to an engine detachment, according to Todd Inman from the National Transportation Safety Board, which is spearheading the inquiry.

Footage captured by a dashcam reveals the aircraft trailing smoke and flames, narrowly missing a roadway, striking a building, and disappearing into a cloud of dark smoke.

Security camera footage from a nearby business captures the thunderous crash and the ensuing inferno, with black smoke spiraling into the sky. As emergency sirens wail in the distance, a secondary explosion punctuates the chaos.

The blaze stretched nearly a city block and destroyed much of the plane’s fuselage, fire officials have said.

In yet another recording, the UPS plane can be seen lifting off the runway already on fire, then disappearing seconds later in an orange fireball.

From a nearby street, a driver filmed the explosion and thick black smoke above nearby buildings. The smoke fills the sky as the vehicle backs away. Other videos from the street show a pillar of black smoke towering over buildings and traffic in the area as sirens echo and lights from emergency vehicles flash.

The recordings of the crash have deepened the shock and grief among other UPS pilots, said Independent Pilots Association President Robert Travis. The union represents 3,500 pilots who fly for UPS.

“We’re just all heartbroken,” he said. “This is a tragedy that is even highlighted further by the video that’s out there circulating around the world due to the catastrophic, violent nature of the accident itself.”
