The UPS plane whose engine exploded in Kentucky had flown out of Baltimore Marshall Airport less than 12 hours earlier.

The grim task of finding victims from the firestorm that followed the crash of a UPS cargo plane in Louisville, Kentucky, has entered a third day

Haunting similarities can be found between the UPS jet crash and the deadliest aviation incident in U.S. history, a crash at O'Hare Airport in 1979.

The UPS Flight 2976 crash near Louisville has drawn comparisons to the 1979 American Airlines Flight 191 disaster. Here's what we know so far and why experts are urging caution before jumping to conclusions.

UPS has been working towards sunsetting the MD-11F fleet it owns, which includes the last airframe of the type ever made, but it still flies 27 examples to this day. So, on the heels of a terrible crash that killed at least 12 people, the question is, why does UPS still rely on such antiquated cargo jets?

Confirmation that the UPS Boeing MD-11F which crashed in Louisville suffered a separation of its left-hand engine during take-off is likely to draw comparisons to the watershed McDonnell Douglas DC-10 accident in Chicago more than 45 years ago.
