3 pilots killed in fiery UPS plane crash ID’d — as missing mom of two believed to be among victims
The three pilots killed when a UPS plane crashed in a fiery explosion in Kentucky earlier this week were identified Thursday — as a missing mother of two is believed to be among the victims on the ground.
“Capt. Richard Wartenberg, First Officer Lee Truitt, and International Relief Officer Capt. Dana Diamond were operating the flight,” UPS said in a statement.
“Words can’t express the sorrow we feel over the heartbreaking Flight 2976 accident. … This continues to be an incredibly sad time for our entire UPS family, and as our CEO, Carol Tomé reminded us: ‘United, we are strong.’”
A local mother of two is also believed to have died when the plane went down in Louisville Tuesday — with her boyfriend spared because he was too tired and stayed home.
Angela “Angie” Anderson, 45, is one of nine people still missing after UPS Flight 2976 crashed just south of the city’s Muhammad Ali International Airport.
