Mayor Craig Greenberg says 12 people have died from the crash, and that nine people still unaccounted for could be among the dead.
UPS has identified the three crew members killed.
Captain Richard Wharton Berg, First Officer Lee true IT and Officer Dana Diamond.
Our June Lefler has the latest on the crash.
If you do the math now, we may have identified.
We may have located all of the victims.
Our hope is that we have located all of the victims at this point.
But again, we do not know.
But the search will continue.
Three people were board the plane when it struggled to get off the ground Tuesday.
New dashcam video shows the plane flying low to the ground seconds before it crashed, erupting in flames.
The National Transportation Safety Board says the plane's left wing caught fire and the engine fell off moments after takeoff.
Congressman Morgan McGarvey of Louisville, Governor Andy Beshear and the mayor toured the crash site yesterday half a mile long, standing there where you could just see the destruction, the charred, mangled metal.
In some cases.
At that point, there were still some smoke rising from piles of debris, saw first responders that were still working intensely, most of whom had just gotten to the scene, some of whom, though had been there since the night before that, were still working, doing whatever it takes to identify victims.
Investigators say they continue to monitor air quality around the site from the National Guard came in and took over air monitoring force and they they not only air monitored around the area, but we gave them several intersections, going north where the plume was all the way towards the river.
And, they those, they were not getting any significant, air monitoring readings, for any health hazards all the way to the river.
And that's why through the night, we were able to significantly reduce that shelter in place area.
Now to what it is.
It's just a quarter mile, which really only encompasses the site.
They always check for any kind of explosive limits, any kind of auto or volatile organic compounds.
They check for carbon monoxide, they check for, oxygen levels to make sure that the oxygen levels are correct.
And like I said, away from that site, they didn't get any adverse, readings.
The UPS handling facility at the Muhammad Ali International Airport is the company's largest.
It employs more than 20,000 people, handles 300 flights a day, and sorts nearly half a million packages an hour.
UPS says it's working with the NTSB to investigate the crash.
For Kentucky Edition, I'm John Leffler.
The NTSB says it's recovered both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder.
Information from both recorders was successfully downloaded.
The NTSB does not release audio from cockpit voice recorder, but a partial transcript should be available in the coming days.
