A major plane crash in the United States has drawn chilling parallels to the tragic Ahmedabad aviation disaster. The horrifying incident occurred shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport late Monday night.

According to reports, UPS Flight 2976 met with an accident just moments after it began its ascent from the runway. Eyewitnesses and preliminary reports suggest that the aircraft struggled to gain altitude before losing control and crashing near the airport’s boundary. Emergency response teams immediately rushed to the scene and began rescue operations.

The cause of the crash has not yet been confirmed, but early indications point toward a possible technical malfunction during takeoff. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched a joint investigation to determine what went wrong.

The incident has evoked memories of the Ahmedabad air tragedy, where a similar mishap occurred just seconds after takeoff, claiming numerous lives. In both cases, the aircraft failed to stabilize shortly after leaving the runway.

Authorities have not yet released information regarding casualties or survivors. UPS Airlines has issued a brief statement expressing deep concern and confirming full cooperation with investigators.

Local residents near the Louisville airport reported hearing a loud explosion followed by a burst of flames in the sky. Emergency services have cordoned off the area as a precautionary measure.

The tragic crash has once again raised serious questions about aircraft safety standards and pre-flight technical inspections, particularly for cargo and logistics carriers operating under tight schedules.
