A large UPS cargo plane with three people aboard crashed and exploded Tuesday while taking off from an airport in Louisville, Kentucky, leaving at least three people dead and 11 injured.
Those numbers are expected to grow, the governor said. The plane crashed about 5:15 p.m. as it was departing for Honolulu from Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
“We’re asking all Kentuckians to pray for those that have been impacted,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear told The Associated Press.
A shelter-in-place order has been issued for all locations within 5 miles of the airport and asks the public to avoid the area until further notice, Louisville Metro Emergency Services said.
