Death toll in UPS plane crash in Kentucky rises to 11

The number of people killed in the UPS plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday has risen to 11, according to local authorities. The update was given by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who added that it is 'expected to reach 12' during a press conference. Beshear also added that 'there are a handful of more people we are still searching for, that we hope were not in the location and are somewhere else.' Among the deceased, it is believed that at least one person is a child, 'and a small child, which makes it even more difficult,' the governor emphasized. In turn, Kentucky Representative Morgan McGarvey described the accident as an 'apocalyptic' event and warned that the incident will have a lasting impact on the local community. 'Last night the sky over Louisville looked apocalyptic,' McGarvey recounted. 'People were scared, debris and ash were falling, and many were taking shelter in their homes; my family was one of those families.' The congressman compared the scene of the crash to a scene from the movie Terminator. 'The smells and images are things we won't forget when we close our eyes tonight,' he added, highlighting the magnitude of the emotional impact on the neighbors. Local authorities continue to work in the area to assess the damage and ensure the safety of residents. So far, no official details about victims or the exact causes of the accident have been released, as the community recovers from the strong impact of the disaster.
