Investigation underway: A UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport Tuesday, leaving a fiery trail of destruction and a half- mile-long debris field. At least 12 people have died and others are injured, officials say, warning the death toll could climb as the investigation continues.

Black boxes recovered: An NTSB investigation team is on site at the crash location and has recovered the aircraft's "black boxes" - the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.

The really impressive thing to me about this video, other than the obvious fireball, is how quickly that flag changes directions and how violently it flaps, showing just how much air the fireball is pulling in.

For those trying to find it (like me) the flag is in the edge of the parking lot and looks like one of those tall vertical ones.

Oh wow. I've been watching this for a while now and I'm impressed. Also great observation.

The other video with sound makes it clear that the fuel fire is drawing in a huge amount of air. I looked at it on google maps and the camera doesn't convey how close that guy was to the fireball. It looks like he was parked at the back of the lot and the plane went between him and the entrance to the lot.
