美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）周二发布了新视频，显示去年在路易斯维尔起飞后坠毁的一架UPS货机发动机脱落，事故造成15人死亡。NTSB还透露，失事客机的机组人员原本执飞的飞机停飞后，被重新分配到了这架涉事飞机。
这段由机场摄像头拍摄的视频显示，飞机在跑道上滑行时，发动机带着一团火球脱离机身。
2025年11月4日，执飞前往夏威夷航班的UPS航空2976号班机，从联合包裹服务公司全球航空枢纽所在地路易斯维尔国际机场起飞后不久坠毁。当时的照片和视频显示，起飞过程中左侧发动机脱离并掉落。

这架麦克唐纳·道格拉斯MD-11F型货机坠毁后，机上3名飞行员全部遇难，另有12名地面人员身亡，飞机撞入附近的商业园区。另有近24人受伤。
在华盛顿举行的为期两天听证会的首日，NTSB调查人员透露，涉事MD-11F货机的机组人员，原本执飞的另一架同型号MD-11飞机因发现燃油泄漏并上报维修部门而停飞后，被重新分配到了这架飞机。
NTSB披露，涉事原飞机因被发现燃油泄漏并上报维修部门而停飞。
NTSB此前曾报告称，有证据显示左侧机翼的发动机挂载点存在裂纹。NTSB周二表示，金属疲劳导致了连接发动机与机翼的部件失效。

一名NTSB调查人员在听证会上还透露，UPS在审阅波音公司2011年发出的、针对MD-11机型结构失效的预警通知后，未采取额外措施。
UPS方面表示，该通知并不要求采取行动。
美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）在此次11月坠机事故后停飞了所有MD-11机型，UPS随后已将该机型从机队中退役。
“我们的重点始终是支持调查工作，并向这场悲剧的所有受害者致以悼念，”UPS在周二的一份声明中表示。
与此同时，尽管NTSB的调查仍在进行中，联邦快递（FedEx）已开始将经过波音推荐并获FAA批准的维修后的MD-11飞机重新投入运营。

Emmy Award-winning journalist Kris Van Cleave is the senior transportation correspondent for CBS News based in Phoenix, Arizona, where he also serves as a national correspondent reporting for all CBS News broadcasts and platforms.
The National Transportation Safety Board released new video Tuesday that showed an engine flying off a UPS cargo plane that crashed during takeoff last year in Louisville, killing 15 people. The NTSB also revealed that the crew of the crashed jet had been reassigned to it after their original plane was taken out of service.
The video, captured by an airport camera, showed the engine come off the plane in a ball of fire as the jet raced down the runway.
On Nov. 4, 2025, UPS Flight 2976 bound for Hawaii crashed moments after takeoff from Louisville International Airport, where UPS has its global aviation hub. Photos and videos had showed the left engine separating and falling off the plane during takeoff.

The crash of the McDonnell Douglas MD-11F killed all three pilots aboard the plane and 12 more people on the ground when the jet slammed into a nearby business complex. Nearly two dozen more people were injured.
During the first day of a two-day hearing in Washington, D.C., NTSB investigators revealed that the flight crew had been reassigned to the MD-11F after their original plane, also an MD-11, was taken out of service.
The original plane was taken out of service when a fuel leak was discovered and reported to maintenance, the NTSB disclosed.
The NTSB previously reportedthere was evidenceof cracks in the left wing’s engine mount. The NTSB said Tuesday that metal fatigue caused the failure of a component attaching the engine to the wing.

An NTSB investigator also disclosed during the hearing that UPS did not take additional action after reviewing a 2011 notice from Boeing that flagged structural failures on the MD-11.
UPS has said the notification did not require action.
The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the MD-11 after the November crash, and UPS has since retired them from its fleet.
“Our focus remains on supporting the investigation and honoring those affected by this tragedy,” UPS said in a statement Tuesday.
Meanwhile, even though the NTSB investigation is ongoing, FedEx has started returning MD-11 aircraft to service after they undergo repairs recommended by Boeing and approved by the FAA.
