Nov. 6 (UPI) -- The death toll from a cargo plane crash in Louisville, Ky., has risen to 13, officials announced Thursday.
UPS flight 2976 crashed on takeoff Tuesday. Video from the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport shows the plane completely engulfed in flames, careening down the runway with one of its wings straight up in the air, leaving a massive trail of fire and smoke in its path. Investigators later confirmed that the plane's left wing caught on fire.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced on social media that he learned of the 13th victim on his way to a teamsters vigil for those killed in the crash.
"My heart is with the families, friends and colleagues of all who were lost in this week's tragedy," Greenberg wrote on X. "We will get through this together."
