At Least 9 Dead, Others Missing After Plane Crash In Kentucky

Emergency workers are searching for more victims after at least nine people died and more than a dozen were injured when a UPS plane crashed while taking off at the airport in Louisville, Kentucky. The plane crashed Tuesday as it was departing for Honolulu from Muhammad Ali International Airport. Video showed flames on the plane’s left wing and a trail of smoke. The plane then lifted slightly off the ground before crashing and exploding in a huge fireball. Video also revealed portions of a building’s shredded roof next to the end of the runway. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he expects the death toll to increase and says 16 families reported loved ones unaccounted for. The airport has resumed operations.

Death Toll Rises To Seven In Deadly UPS Plane Crash In Kentucky

DEATH TOLL RISES TO SEVEN IN DEADLY UPS PLANE CRASH IN KENTUCKY Officials have confirmed seven people are dead after a UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport on Tuesday evening. Mayor Craig Greenberg said during a news briefing that three crew members were on board the aircraft and that four other victims were on the ground. “There were three crew members on the plane. The four that we have confirmed dead are not on the plane,” Greenberg said. “We believe it will be seven that we’re aware of at this time.” Authorities say the crash was likely caused by engine failure during takeoff, sparking a massive fireball that could be seen for miles. Emergency crews continue to search the crash site, while officials have extended condolences to the victims’ families.

Trump administration warns of 'mass chaos' in air travel if government shutdown continues

The Trump administration is warning that air travel could soon face severe disruptions if the ongoing government shutdown stretches into next week. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday that the financial strain on air traffic controllers and TSA workers, who have been working without pay, is creating a dangerous situation. “Each day the shutdown continues, the risk grows,” Duffy said, adding that the situation could escalate into what he called “mass chaos” if the stalemate isn’t resolved soon. Flight delays and cancellations have already been on the rise as staffing shortages worsen. Duffy cautioned that, without a resolution, some parts of U.S. airspace could be temporarily closed to ensure safety. The warning comes as negotiations between the White House and congressional leaders remain at a standstill, with no clear path forward to reopen the government.

Proposition 50 Passes In California, Giving Democrats Potential Boost In Congress

Voters have overwhelmingly approved Proposition 50, a ballot measure that will reshape the state’s congressional districts for the next three election cycles. The measure replaces maps drawn by an independent commission with new boundaries created by the Democratic-controlled Legislature, a move expected to add up to five Democratic-held seats in Congress. Proposition 50 was introduced in response to Texas’ Republican-led redistricting, which added several GOP seats earlier this year. With California’s vote, Democrats are hoping to regain the upper hand in the fight for control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms.
