UPS plane crash victims named by Kentucky officials

Kentucky officials on Wednesday named the 14 victims who died in the UPS cargo plane crash last week.

The victims include: Capt. Dana Diamond, 62; Capt. Richard Wartenberg, 57; first officer Lee Truitt, 45; Angela Anderson, 45; Carlos Fernandez, 52; Trinadette “Trina” Chavez, 37; Tony Crain, 65; John Loucks, 52; John Spray, 45; Matthew Sweets, 37; Ella Petty Whorton, 31; Megan Washburn, 35; Louisnes Fedon, 47; and his 3-year-old granddaughter Kimberly Asa.

UPS had previously identified Wartenberg, Truitt and Diamond, as pilots for its company. Sean Garber, who owns one of the businesses struck by the explosion, Grade A Auto Parts and Scrap Metal Recycling, said the other victims were either customers or employees of his business.

“Our city feels the full weight of this unimaginable tragedy,” Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said at a press conference. “Behind every one of these names is a circle of family, friends, stories that will forever be unfinished.”

Greenberg added that officials do not believe any other people died in the crash, which happened just outside of the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
