Updates from Wednesday morning on Tuesday’s UPS crash involving an MD-11 cargo jet in Louisville, Ky.
Nov 12,1975 Overseas National Airways DC10, departing 31R at JFK for a nonstop flight to Jedda, SA Ingested seagulls into right engine, uncontained failure with parts penetrating wing tank. Takeoff was aborted. Entire right side of aircraft on fire. 120 passengers were all company employees. The aircraft was evacuated VERY quickly. Five minutes after the aircraft stopped it was mostly gone with only the engine cores, landing gear struts and a portion of the empennage remaining. UPS accident appears very similar except that ONA DC10 never became airborne and the runway was much longer.
There is also the American DC10 accident at O’hare where a wing engine departed shortly after takeoff.

To find out the cause of the crash no doubt?
Do your reporters just let AI do their job? Do you not have an English speaking editor, you know, someone that reviews articles before publication?
Here’s an important syntax error in your article:
…the aircraft nearly missed a small restaurant and a Ford factory…
In English this means the aircraft hit those buildings! The context of the rest of the article and REAL reporting says it didn’t. Perhaps you meant the aircraft nearly STRUCK those building?! Hmmmm?!
Come on, be professional or close down. You’re not the high school news paper, are you?
As a retired airline Captain, Line Check Airman, Instructor Pilot, airline Flight Ops Manager, and airline Tech Ops Manager, with 48+ years of flying, 25,000+ hours of flying, and many airliner Type Ratings, I can say that your coverage of UPS 2976 is the best and most professional I have seen since the tragedy. Thank you. 
ROFL.
Media twits!
They want ‘talking heads’ not focus on essentials. I just whacked Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre for blthering about a baseball team.
Hey, the school paper I was editor of did proofreading, excellent typist. 
Avweb needs an Editor.
Or perhaps, an indicator that a human DID write that sentence. On whose prose do you think the AI was trained?
The “near miss” apparent oxymoron has been around (and debated by school-children) for a century. The adjective serves to indicate a subjective quality of the “miss”. Was is “near” or “by a mile”?
