The federal investigation into last year's fatal UPS plane crash in Louisville showed one of the key defects found on the plane's failed engine was a known issue among Boeing's service team, albeit one Boeing didn't believe would lead to a "safety of flight condition."

Newly released Louisville police footage shows officers helping people get to safety during the deadly UPS plane crash, along with aerial views of the early destruction and the initial reaction to the wreckage.

This past year, WDRB News reported on the biggest stories and events across Kentucky and southern Indiana.

Weeks after a UPS plane crashed near Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, airport firefighters offered a rare look inside the highly specialized emergency response that unfolded in the minutes after the aircraft went down.

A lawsuit was filed Wednesday against UPS, General Electric and Boeing, claiming the companies' recklessness contributed to the plane crash Tuesday at Louisville's airport that killed at least 13 people.

Sabit Aliyev, who manages Kentucky Truck Parts and Services, said he and his coworker were surrounded by flames and metal fences as the inferno spread.

The plane was headed to Honolulu with three people onboard, Inman said. Investigators said all three people died in the crash.
