Seriously, who writes this stuff? It wasn't even 13 seconds. It left an engine on the airfield.
I’m glad I don’t have much
on order from Amazon right now.
I live in Hawaii.

Maybe they would have had better luck if the airport was named Cassius Clay!
Yeah, and more like 34K gallons of Jet-A not 50K. (220,000 lbs.)(pounds is how they measure jet fuel). Mass media is notoriously bad at factual aircraft and firearm reporting.
They have been involved with a union dispute. People are blaming union for 48k workers laid off. Teamsters say they are keeping a close eye on investigation.
I don’t know if this is a different plane crash

I'm rejoicing to know my friend who pilots that UPS route was not working last night. Amen.
Same crash...this version includes the truck drivers’ reaction (video is from his dash cam):

Same crash
Yikes!!
Despicable comment.
Yeah, pretty calous. SMH
Only Near-Miss I ever had was on a commuter flight taking off from that airport.
My prediction is there will be a bunch of AP technicians with targets on their backs.
I read this A/C just got out of C check
That video shows the left wing was burning away before impact. The starboard wing, still intact, was generating lift and tipped the plane on its side as it crashed. With the port wing basically gone, there was nothing to counter the lift and the pilot couldn't belly in.
It appears the crew had a few brief moments where, if the crew was aware of the fire, they could have aborted the takeoff even if it meant overshooting the runway.
Down goes UPS down goes UPS.... too soon ?
wow how bad was it ?
