The UPS freighter that crashed in Louisville was a 34-year old jet. While that’s old for a passenger plane, that’s not so unusual in the world of air cargo.

The three plaintiffs say the companies were negligent in the crash and are seeking damages for residents within five miles.

At least 13 people were killed and several others injured after a UPS plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville International Airport on Tuesday.

Investigators say a repeating bell sounded as pilots tried to control a UPS cargo plane upon takeoff before it crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, this week.

Videos show UPS Flight 2976 banking left before the accident, and officials said the plane's left engine detached entirely during takeoff.

Megan Washburn, an employee of Grade A Auto Parts, has been missing since the crash on Tuesday, according to the business's owner Sean Garber.

UPS indicated that no maintenance work was performed on it's aircraft before the tragic flight “that would delay it in any way," according to investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board.
