It will be interesting to see what info comes available in the following days.

I am so sorry for the families of these two pilots! I know that UPS pilots are extremely qualified! However I wonder if the cargo carve out has anything to do with this! The Birmingham mayor is treating this as a miracle because only the pilots died. So sad!

I think this is a rather heart warming story given the circumstances:
"BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -A local non-profit which lost $150,000 of merchandise in Wednesday's UPS plane crash is turning tragedy around. Freeset USA will design and sell a t-shirt to benefit the families of the two pilots who perished in the early morning crash"

Just reminds you that it could be anyone of us any day. RIP and tailwinds to the crew. Condolences to the families and UPS pilot group.
