Air accident in the US, cargo plane explodes during takeoff, at least 7 dead and

A tragic air crash rocked the United States on Tuesday evening, after a UPS cargo plane burst into flames during takeoff from Louisville International Airport in Kentucky.

Footage posted on social media shows the dramatic moment the plane bursts into flames during takeoff, with fire coming from the left engine and then a powerful explosion lighting up the night sky.

The video clearly shows the plane attempting to take off, but then turning into a fireball and crashing into the ground, creating a giant cloud of smoke.

According to authorities, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft, carrying about 150,000 liters of fuel, crashed into an industrial area near the airport, destroying two businesses - an oil recycling plant and an auto parts yard.

It is reported that two employees of these companies are still missing.

At least seven people have died as a result of the collision, three of whom were confirmed to be on board, while 11 others were injured on the ground.
