The cause of the fire and the crash remains under investigation.
A UPS wide-body cargo plane erupted into a fireball moments after departing from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on Tuesday, killing seven (including all three crew members aboard) and injuring 11 on the ground. Flames from the crash ignited multiple fires in an industrial corridor near the airport, forcing authorities to halt flight operations through the night.
The triple-engine MD-11 plane was bound for Honolulu and fueled for an 8½-hour flight.
