BREAKING NEWS: Catastrophic Plane Crash in Kentucky Kills Over 721, Pregnant Woman in Critical Condition
Harlan County, KY — In what is being called one of the deadliest air disasters in U.S. history, a massive passenger aircraft crashed near Tucker-Guthrie Memorial Airport in southeastern Kentucky earlier today, claiming the lives of more than 721 people.
Authorities confirm that among the very few survivors is a pregnant woman who sustained life-threatening injuries. She was airlifted to a trauma center in Lexington, where doctors are working urgently to stabilize her condition.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the crash. Early witness accounts describe hearing a thunderous explosion followed by thick plumes of black smoke rising from a wooded area near the crash site.
Emergency response teams from across the state are on the scene, combing through wreckage and attempting to recover remains. Officials have yet to release a full passenger manifest, and families across the region remain anxiously awaiting word.
Governor Thomas Whitaker has declared a state of emergency and ordered all flags to half-staff in honor of the victims. “This is a dark and heartbreaking day for Kentucky,” the Governor said in a statement. “We will do everything we can to support the families affected by this horrific event.”
This remains a developing story. More details will follow as investigators piece together what led to this unimaginable tragedy.
