The National Transportation Safety Board will begin a two-day hearing Tuesday to investigate the cause of a fatal UPS cargo plane crash that occurred in Louisville, killing all 15 people aboard.

The cargo aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville, resulting in what investigators described as a fiery crash scene. The incident represents one of the deadliest aviation accidents involving cargo operations in recent years.

The NTSB hearing will examine various factors that may have contributed to the accident, including mechanical issues, weather conditions, pilot actions, and airport operations. Safety investigators have been gathering evidence and analyzing data from the crash site since the incident occurred.

The hearing is part of the NTSB's standard investigative process for major aviation accidents. The board's findings will ultimately be used to determine the probable cause of the crash and may lead to safety recommendations for the aviation industry.

UPS has been cooperating with the investigation. The company operates one of the largest cargo airline fleets in the world, with Louisville serving as a major hub for its air operations.
