UPS Planeās Not-So-Express Louisville-Honolulu Flight Crashes
In a plot twist nobody wanted, UPS Flight 2976 with three crew members crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on July 1, 2025, at 5:15 p.m. local time. The smokescreen was so thick locals probably thought Kentucky just burned a giant BBQ. The FAA confirmed the doomed parcelās planned delivery spot was Honolulu, because when youāre going down, might as well aim for paradise. Louisville Metro Policeās shelter-in-place order expanded faster than a coupon expiration panic, covering all areas north to the Ohio River. Governor Andy Beshear summed it up with āThis situation is serious,ā aka āWeāre on it, but donāt expect a miracle.ā Fireās still raging, updates pending, but condolences to the pilots who can no longer deliver packages or awkward small talk.
