The full list of victims in the UPS plane crash has been released, just over a week after the Hawaii-bound cargo plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, just moments after takeoff. The plane appeared to be on fire as it sped down the runway, and may have lost an engine while taking off. It struck two businesses — a petroleum recycling facility and an auto parts business — and left a debris field of about half a mile, officials said.
