First thing we do in Kentucky is grieve together, and we don't want these families to have to wait for reimbursement by FEMA.
We've got to continue to search that site, hope and pray for the best, but know there may be more loss of life that we're going to learn about today.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said the UPS cargo plane crashed at about 5.14 p.m.
Beshear said the fate of the three UPS crew members was not immediately known.
He said the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 was bound for Honolulu with about 38,000 gallons of jet fuel on board.
Video footage of the crash appeared to show the left engine on fire as the plane struggled to lift off from the runway, followed by a massive explosion.
The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation.
