The National Transportation Safety Board kicked off two days of investigative hearings Tuesday in Washington as part of the agency's investigation into Louisville's deadly UPS plane crash.

For the first time since 15 people were killed when a UPS plane went down in Louisville, Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration and UPS will publicly face questions about what went wrong.

As a pilot, Capt. Dana Diamond lived much of his life amongst the clouds — often leaving his wife behind at their Texas home. But before every flight, he made sure she was taken care of.

The family of Capt. Dana Diamond, who was the international relief officer on the plane, filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Jefferson Circuit Court against Boeing, General Electric and VT San Antonio Aerospace, Inc. — the company that did maintenance on the plane.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11, built in 1991, went down around 5:15 p.m. Nov. 4 after its left wing caught fire. 

The five security cameras in different parts of the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport showed the crash of the MD-11 plane off Grade Lane.

There's no blueprint for reopening an area after a tragedy like this.

According to the initial investigation, the plane cleared the fence at the end of the runway, but its landing gear hit the roof of a UPS warehouse off Grade Lane and then an oil recycling facility just past it.

It's been two weeks since UPS Flight 2976 crashed trying to take off from Louisville's airport. Fourteen people, including the three pilots aboard the plane, were killed.
