LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A grandfather and his young granddaughter. An electrician with two young children. A woman standing in line at a scrap metal business. They were among the 14 people who died in the fiery crash of a UPS plane in Louisville last week. Their names were released Wednesday as Mayor Craig Greenberg lamented the lives that will 'forever be unfinished.' As we share the names of those who we’ve lost, our city feels the full weight of this unimaginable tragedy, Greenberg said. Behind every one of these names is a circle of family, friends, stories that will forever be unfinished. The crash occurred during takeoff at the UPS Worldport facility at Muhammad Ali International Airport, and the local coroner’s office has confirmed that all victim remains have been identified. The victims included three pilots — Capt. Richard Wartenberg, First Officer Lee Truitt, and International Relief Officer Capt. Dana Diamond. Personal accounts of some victims emerged, revealing their lives and the profound loss felt by their families. John Spray was killed at Grade A Auto Parts & Recycling; his family shared that he was in the 'wrong place at the wrong time.' Ella Petty Whorton was remembered fondly by her boyfriend for her generosity and kind spirit. As investigations continue, the community stands together, mourning their loss while officials collect evidence to understand how such a tragedy could occur.
