Families of victims who died in the UPS plane crash in Louisville filed the first wrongful death lawsuits on Wednesday.

A newly released preliminary investigation has found cracks in hardware meant to hold the left engine to the UPS cargo plane that crashed, killing and injuring dozens of people in Louisville.

A Louisville resident and the owner of two businesses near the fatal plane crash are seeking a class action lawsuit against UPS, GE and Boeing.

An official with the National Transportation Safety Board says the left engine fell off the UPS plane as it was attempting to take off, before crashing just beyond the runway.

In the aftermath of a cargo plane crash that has led to at least 12 deaths, Gov. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency and said recovery efforts are still underway.

The owner of a truck service shop was next door to the fiery and deadly UPS crash in Louisville on Tuesday, trapped on the property for hours.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at least 11 people are dead after a UPS plane bound for Hawaii crashed near the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

The United Parcel Service and Teamsters union announced Tuesday that negotiators struck a new five-year deal affecting about 340,000 full- and part-time workers, including at least 12,000 Louisville-area employees.

Representatives for the United Parcel Service and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters plan to resume talks Tuesday on a new five-year national contract for full- and part-time employees.
