UPS Jumbo Cargo Plane Crash that killed 2 pilots

Authorities say they have not yet recovered the black boxes to determine why a UPS jumbo cargo plane crashed early Wednesday morning just outside a Birmingham, Ala., airport, killing the two pilots.

NTSB member Robert L. Sumwalt said at a news conference Wednesday that because the tail of the aircraft is still smoldering, investigators haven't been able to gain access yet to the cockpit-voice and flight-data recorders, but that investigators will be on the scene for a number of days.

Sumwalt says a preliminary investigation of the crash indicates the pilot and co-pilot did not make any distress calls prior to impact.

A UPS spokesman confirmed to MyFoxAL.com that the plane was a UPS A-300 Airbus, tail number N155UP, with two crew members aboard. The flight originated in Louisville, Ky., and crashed upon its approach to Birmingham-Shuttles worth International Airport before dawn.

The plane crashed in an isolated field outside the airport's perimeterfence and a white plume of smoke was seen rising from the site. Teams of emergency crews responded to the crash.

The UPS said it is in the process of notifying the shippers of all the packages aboard the flight.
