From Fox News: Dramatic video shows the terrifying moment a UPS plane loaded with fuel crashed at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport Tuesday, producing a massive and deadly fireball.
The video, taken from inside a vehicle on a nearby road, shows a huge plume of black and gray smoke towering into the sky, visible for miles.
The driver in the vehicle where the footage was filmed can be heard shouting in shock as flames billow and consume what remains of the aircraft on the runway and with another plane visible in front.
The fireball expands rapidly, rippling through the air as emergency sirens wail faintly in the distance.
Loaded with fuel, the UPS plane was just taking off from the Louisville airport and was headed for Honolulu, Hawaii.
