Death toll from UPS plane crash in Louisville rises to 14
The death toll from the UPS plane crash in Louisville on Tuesday has now risen to 14.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced that an additional victim had been found at the crash site Friday evening.
“We pray for each of the victims’ families and pray that no additional victims are lost, as our first responders continue to search and seek answers that we all are looking for,” Greenberg said in a video shared on social media.
In an update Saturday night, Greenberg said officials believe the death toll will remain at 14.
He said 13 victims were found at the crash site, which matches the number of missing persons reports received by the Louisville Metro Police Department, and one victim died at the hospital.
“The Jefferson County Coroner is working rapidly to identify each victim and will make their names public as soon as their identities are confirmed,” Greenberg said in a statement shared on social media. “May the victims’ memories be a blessing.”
Earlier Friday, Greenberg had asked any families still looking for a missing loved one to call (800) 631-0604.
“We want to know if there are any additional individuals that we should still be looking for at the crash site,” he said.
Greenberg said the number also could be used by survivors.
The crash at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport happened at about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, when an engine detached from the MD-11 McDonnell Douglas aircraft as it was taking off.
The UPS cargo plane was bound for Honolulu, and those who died included the three crew members on board. Two businesses, Grade A Auto Parts and Kentucky Petroleum Recycling, were hit.
As of Thursday, there were nine people still missing from the crash, according to Greenberg.
He said at that time that most of the victims who had been located had been found on top of debris or easily visible, and search and rescue teams were beginning to look through layers of debris for additional victims.
