"“...was to fly to Honolulu.”

I was wondering why there was so much fuel.

================================

🚨 BREAKING: UPS Flight 2976 bound for Honolulu, Hawaii had 280,000 gallons of jet fuel on board when it crashed in Louisville, per WLKY

Correction...

CLARIFICATION: The UPS MD-11 was carrying 280,000lbs of fuel — not gallons.

The Mayor of Louisville misspoke.

But 280K lbs of fuel is near full capacity for an MD-11, as the plane was en route to Hawaii.— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) November 5, 2025

I would buy 280,000 lbs. 280,000 gallons would be about 1.8 million lbs. There is no way that plane carried that much fuel.
