UPS Crash near Dubai

UPS Cargo Plane Crashes Near Dubai.

Plane is crashed near dubai on friday evening after takeoff.

The UPS website said that a starement of crashes at approximately 12 p.m. Eastern Standard time, or 8 p.m. local time, UPS flight number 6 from Dubai and headed to Cologne, Germany—a Boeing Co. 747-400—crashed after takeoff. The United Arab Emirates' official state media reported late Friday that the bodies of two pilots had been recovered.
The cause of the crash wasn't immediately clear, but it appeared to have been preceded by a fire on board. The plane took off around 7 p.m. local time, and, according to a person familiar with the situation in the U.A.E., the crew reported trouble shortly after becoming airborne and alerted air-traffic controllers, who eventually diverted the plane to a government-owned landing facility in the desert.

According to one set of early data gathered by air-safety officials, the pilots may have tried but failed to land twice during the hour prior to the crash. Sometime during the reported sequence of two "missed approaches" to the airport, according to this information, the cockpit crew declared a mayday, possibly due to smoke in the cockpit.

Some preliminary reports indicated that the pilots ultimately may have been forced to try to land at the government-owned facility after struggling with an onboard emergency that may have obscured their view of some cockpit instruments. Neither UPS nor local authorities were commenting on the precise sequence of events. After saying that the plane crashed on takeoff, a UPS spokeswoman later Friday confirmed there was an hour gap between its takeoff and the crash.

The reason fro the crash is yet to be found out. The sad part is that the two pilots have got charred to death and their bodies have been recovered. The people now have started doubting the safety of air travel.
