Massive Fire: on many buildings,
Terrible place to crash The number of dead could rise.  [Fireball erupts near airport property after reports of a plane crash at Louisville International Airport, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, in Louisville, Ky.]  [LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - At least 11 people are dead after a UPS cargo plane crashed Tuesday while taking off from the Louisville airport, leaving a trail of flames just miles from the city's downtown. The plane crashed at about 5:15 p.m. after its left wing caught fire. The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft, made in 1991, was departing for Honolulu from UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.] Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said others had "very significant" injuries.

what a mess
we have a solid first lead, left engine was engulfed in flames, is this something similar to Concorde? was there something on the runway and debris from a burst tyre puncturing the left wing fuel tank  couldn't have been the weather, not in November tbh, unlike TWA Flight 800 which was due to a short-circuit and overheating played a factor there

highest recorded ground speed received was 186 knots (344 km/h; 214 mph)
that is really fast, if there was something on the runway something sharp, that easily could've destroyed the tyre and made it flown upwards towards the wing that ground speed, they had to take off, because that was past V1, beyond any safe way of aborting take off, they were doomed from the moment they reached V1
