Video of the takeoff seems to show the left engine fully engulfed in flames. Just lifts off and then stalls and crashes. Flashbacks of AA191 at O'Hare in 1979.

Seeing local stations report there were 3 crew members on board this UPS flight. Videos circulating online appear to show a fire around one of the engines as it was taking off.

Could the plane have hit debris on the runway like the Concord did in Paris?

Just posted the second link but it's been confirmed now about the three fatalities, I'm assuming the crew ?
Rest in peace.


I doubt the flight crew could have survived that, but am praying for a miracle !!!
From the Daily Mail link, it also appeared that the left wing (looking forward) broke and was ejected outwards from the force of the blast ?
