A UPS plane leaving Dubai (I think it was Dubai) crashed and there was a fire onboard first. Probably one of these things went off prematurely.

“A statement posted Friday on the UPS website said that at approximately 12 p.m. Eastern Standard time, or 8 p.m. local time, UPS flight number 6 from Dubai and headed to Cologne, Germany—a Boeing Co. 747-400—crashed after takeoff.

The United Arab Emirates’ official state media reported late Friday that the bodies of two pilots had been recovered.

“The cause of the crash wasn’t immediately clear, but it appeared to have been preceded by a fire on board.”
