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.

As chief commercial officer, Guffey is responsible for accelerating UPS’s profitability and growth. He acknowledges that innovation is a cultural challenge inside a large organization approaching its 120th anniversary. UPS’s approach to modernization often reveals the tension between transformation and legacy.

While early photos and video document the moments around the devastating crash, investigations into air disasters take extensive time and research.

Investigators are reviewing 63 hours of data collected from the black box of a UPS cargo plane involved in a deadly crash that killed at least 13 people in Louisville, Kentucky, earlier this week. Nine people remain missing as authorities sift through the wreckage of Tuesday's crash in an attempt to piece together what went wrong.

Video of the deadly Louisville, Kentucky, crash showed flames on one of the plane's wings and a huge fireball erupting as the aircraft hit the ground.

The sister of one of the victims of Tuesday’s UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville confirmed in a Thursday Facebook post he had died from his injuries. Regarding her brother Matt Sweets, Michelle Sweets wrote, “It is with the heaviest heart, I regret to inform all of you that he passed away this afternoon after fighting his hardest in the ICU. “

The deceased are believed to include the three people aboard the plane, who were identified Thursday by UPS as Capt. Richard Wartenberg, First Officer Lee Truitt and International Relief Officer Capt. Dana Diamond.
