Last night and this morning, our teams here in London and in Washington DC have been verifying video of a UPS cargo plane that crashed in the US state of Kentucky. We’ve been analysing footage of the crash, which resulted in an enormous fireball at Louisville International Airport.
Video of the deadly crash showed flames on one of the plane's wings, and a huge fireball erupting as the aircraft hit the ground.
