Louisville Crash | Why Dual Engine Failure Changes Everything

In today’s video, Captain Steeeve takes a closer look at the UPS plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky.

Early video footage shows the number 1 engine completely torn off the aircraft, and there have been numerous discussions about what may have caused the engine to come off of the airplane. New video angles suggest that the number 3 engine suffered a compressor stall, causing that engine to also fail.


As Captain Steeeve explains, losing both engines 1 and 3 completely changes the dynamics of the accident. With only one remaining engine online, the aircraft’s controllability, performance, and climb capability are drastically reduced. What looks like a routine takeoff problem becomes a life-or-death scenario incredibly fast.


This was a terrifying situation for everyone involved, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families, crew, passengers, and first responders.
