On November seventh, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg confirmed a rise in the death toll from the UPS cargo plane crash to thirteen. The plane, an MD-Eleven, lost an engine and caught fire shortly after takeoff, killing three pilots: Captain Richard Wartenberg, First Officer Lee Truitt, and International Relief Officer Captain Dana Diamond. UPS and federal investigators are examining the planes maintenance history, focusing on repairs made in Texas before the crash. The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder have been recovered, aiding the investigation. UPS Worldport operations resumed, and all airport runways are open again. A vigil was held to honor the victims.
