Guzzetti said that the jet and the UPS plane were equipped with the same General Electric engines, and both planes underwent heavy maintenance in the month before they crashed. The NTSB blamed the Chicago crash on improper maintenance. The 1979 crash involved a DC-10, but the MD-11 UPS plane is based on the DC-10.
The Louisville Metro Police Department said multiple agencies are responding to a reported plane crash near the Louisville Airport.
