UPS Cargo Plane Crashes In Birmingham, Two Dead
August 14, 2013
A UPS cargo plane crashed near the Birmingham, AL, airport Wednesday morning, reportedly killing the pilot and co-pilot.
The plane crashed in grassy field outside the airport fence and about a half mile from the runway just before 5 a.m., missing homes located not far the site. There were no injuries on the ground. The plane, an A300, was enroute from Louisville, KY, to Birmingham.
“As we work through this difficult situation, we ask for your patience, and that you keep those involved in your thoughts and prayers,” UPS said in a prepared statement.

Wow. Sad to hear. That cockpit / front portion of the fuselage sure looks survivable…
I fly all the time and this is my worst fear. I pray for the families of the pilot and co-pilot.
