The death toll is now up to 11, including a child after yesterday's fiery crash at a UPS plane at Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville.

And tonight, the rescue operation is transitioning to a recovery operation.

The NTSB now says the plane's left wing caught fire and an engine fell off during takeoff.

That plane was loaded with fuel for a long trip from the UPS hub to Honolulu.

The smoke could be seen for miles.

The crash forced the airport and other businesses to close, as well as Jefferson County Public Schools today.

The airport is now open again and school will resume tomorrow.

Our Joon LaFleur brings us the latest from Louisville.

The skies are finally clear in Louisville after a miles wide bloom of smoke covered much of the city the night before, the cargo plane crashed and exploded at the UPS world port.

Around 5:15 p.m.

Tuesday.

Louisville looked apocalyptic last night of debris falling in every neighborhood.

People trapped in their homes.

For the families who lost someone who won't be coming home.

Who are the victims that have tragically perished in this crash?

The coroner, the Jefferson County coroner, coroner had been at the scene, is back at the scene today.

And as soon as we have that, we will amplify the information.

Nearly 40 fire crews from as far as Lexington responded to the blaze Wednesday.

A smaller crew is on site responding to hazards and searching for victims.

I don't know how many victims we're actually looking for.

That's one of the issues.

And the debris zone is so large, some of that debris is going to have to be moved and searched underneath.

So it will take us quite a while.

Crews are contending with large industrial debris from the crash site and nearby damaged businesses.

A petroleum recycle business that was there that created, some issues for us.

The oil that was stored there, came across the roadways, got into the waterways and stays on scene taking care of that.

Some businesses where you could go and pull apart, from, scrap vehicles.

So, large semis that are in there, and multiple, multiple vehicles.

Luckily, some other businesses were spared.

A local restaurant that is right there, that we had great concern, would be impacted and we would lose whoever was in it, was missed and now is helping, the search and rescue.

We're grateful for them.

Another blessing, is this plane could have potentially hit, the major Ford factory or the convention center.

Those are all close by and did not.

Governor Beshear declared a state of emergency to request federal disaster funds.

And he has set up a fund for victims.

Remember, the first thing that we pay for out of these funds?

Our funerals.

The National transportation Safety Board is on site investigating the crash.

28 people from the NTSB are here on the ground.

Plus the support network back in Washington, DC.

They are going to analyze absolutely every bit of what happened.

We're talking about everything, that is manmade, that is machine made, that is environmental.

The NTSB is going to go over with a fine tooth comb.

Other updates.

Flights are underway at Louisville's airport.

The one runway is closed, causing some delays and cancellations.

Those living within a quarter mile of the site are to shelter in place as the city continues to monitor the air, and the Federal Aviation Administrator requests no one fly drones near the site at this time.

For Kentucky edition, I'm June Leffler.

Thank you so much, June.

U.S.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is from Louisville, talked about the crash today on the U.S.

Senate floor.

But the people are grateful for the swift lifesaving efforts of our first responders from local police, fire and EMS.

I could trust in the prayers of their fellow Americans, and I want them to know that their representatives here in Washington are making sure that every federal resource they need is on the ground and headed their way soon.

A number of state lawmakers from Louisville are also commenting on the crash.

And a bipartisan, bicameral statement.

They said in part, quote, the tragic crash at the Louisville airport has shaken our community and our hearts are heavy as we continue to learn more about what happened in moments like these.

Louisville shows its strength by supporting one another, offering comfort and standing together in faith and compassion and quote.
