In a tragic turn of events, Kentucky officials have released the names of the 14 victims who lost their lives in the UPS cargo plane crash that occurred last week. The victims include Capt. Dana Diamond, 62; Capt. Richard Wartenberg, 57; First Officer Lee Truitt, 45; Angela Anderson, 45; Carlos Fernandez, 52; Trinadette “Trina” Chavez, 37; Tony Crain, 65; John Loucks, 52; John Spray, 45; Matthew Sweets, 37; Ella Petty Whorton, 31; Megan Washburn, 35; Louisnes Fedon, 47; and his 3-year-old granddaughter Kimberly Asa. The crash, which happened just outside the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, has left the city reeling. UPS had previously identified Wartenberg, Truitt, and Diamond as pilots for its company. The other victims were either customers or employees of businesses affected by the explosion, including Grade A Auto Parts and Scrap Metal Recycling, owned by Sean Garber. The city’s mayor, Craig Greenberg, expressed the collective grief of the community, stating, ‘Our city feels the full weight of this unimaginable tragedy.’ Greenberg assured the public that no other lives were lost in the crash, which was identified through DNA, medical, and dental records. The families of the victims have been notified, and the mayor emphasized the importance of remembering the lives and impact of the deceased. The crash occurred on November 4th, with the left engine catching fire during takeoff and detaching immediately. The plane was en route to Honolulu and had approximately 38,000 gallons of fuel on board. The aftermath of the crash was captured on video and shared on social media, showing the aircraft ablaze before it crashed into an industrial area, destroying several buildings. The debris field from the explosion extended over half a mile, as evidenced by satellite images. In response to the tragedy, UPS and FedEx grounded their fleets of the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 model, and the Federal Aviation Administration initiated an inspection of all similar aircraft. The crash occurred during the longest government shutdown in the nation’s history, but Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy dismissed any connection to the shutdown. UPS, being the largest employer in Louisville, has a significant presence at the airport, with approximately 400 flights arriving and departing daily. This tragic incident marks the second UPS plane crash in recent history, with the last one occurring near Birmingham, Alabama, in 2013, resulting in the deaths of two pilots. The mayor has set up a new hotline for those affected by the crash: 502-473-5271. As the city mourns, the focus remains on honoring the lives of the victims and providing support to those impacted.
