Boeing recommends MD-11s suspend operations “while additional engineering analysis is performed,” as the investigation into the crash of #5X2976 continues. The recommendation affects 54 active MD-11s across 3 airlines. www.flightradar24.com/blog/aviatio...

❗️UPS is grounding its MD-11(F) fleet with immediate effect at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer.

There are currently 26 MD-11s in the UPS fleet of 294 total aircraft. www.flightradar24.com/data/airline...

The scale of the Louisville crash scene is mind-boggling. Massive props to everyone currently working on this horrible tragic mess.

My thoughts are with the victims of today's UPS plane crash, but they are also with the NTSB investigators who, tomorrow, will dig through half a mile of toxic debris to find the black boxes, all without being paid. Godspeed to them as well.

Update! So, having scoured the final report and the internet for everything I could fine on Mexicana 940, there just isn't that much. I do have some things to say about it, so I will still be writing an article. (1/2)

Hi everyone! I'm ramping things back up after a hectic three weeks. I'm currently working on an English copy of the final report on Mexicana de Aviacion flight 940, which I expect will be my next article, though if the report contains insufficient information I do have backups in place.

14 pages written and I haven't gotten to the takeoff yet. Always a good sign

After finishing my translation of the report, Gazpromavia article is finally coming together. I'm expecting to release later this week. I'll provide a more precise ETA when possible.
September 7, 2025 at 10:42 PM
Translation of the Gazpromavia report is complete! I will now be refining the translation while assembling the narrative and conducting additional research for an article to be released as soon as possible.
