LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- All reported missing victims in the UPS plane crash near Louisville's airport have been found.
In a video posted on Facebook Saturday night, Mayor Craig Greenberg said everyone on the missing persons report has been accounted for, and with the victim who died at the hospital, the total number of fatalities remains 14.
The McDonnell Douglas MD-11, built in 1991, went down around 5:15 p.m. Nov. 4 after its left wing caught fire. The plane was fully loaded with fuel for the nine-hour flight to Honolulu from UPS Worldport.
UPS released the identifies of the three pilots on board: Capt. Richard Warternberg, First Officer Lee Truitt and International Relief Officer Capt. Dana Diamond.
The bodies of the victims who have been located have been removed from the wreckage site by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office, and officials are working to positively identify each of the victims.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Friday the "black box" inside the UPS plane recorded a "repeating bell" sound for the final 25 seconds of Tuesday's flight.
Flight records suggest the 34-year-old plane underwent maintenance while it was on the ground in San Antonio for more than a month, from September through mid-October, which Inman confirmed Thursday.
Three different reports were filed in early September. One shows the "center wing upper fuel tank" had a crack in it and needed a permanent repair. The other two reports reveal corrosion in the plane's center cargo area.
Federal aviation officials issued an order Saturday for McDonnell Douglas MD-11 planes not to be flown pending further inspection
