Death toll in fiery UPS plane crash rises to 9, with more than a dozen still unaccounted for

**Death Toll in Louisville UPS Plane Crash Rises to Nine, Search Efforts Continue**

The death toll from Tuesday night’s horrific UPS plane crash in Louisville has risen to at least nine, with more casualties expected as search efforts continue, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Wednesday morning.

“This is going to be a tough day for Kentucky after yesterday’s deadly plane crash,” Gov. Beshear wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “The number of those lost has now risen to at least nine, with the possibility of more.” He added that, at a reunification center, 16 families have already reported loved ones still unaccounted for.

A “significant” search and rescue operation was underway overnight and continues this morning, according to Beshear. His office is scheduled to provide an update during a press conference at 11:30 a.m. ET.

**Tragedy Strikes at Muhammed Ali International Airport**

The accident involved UPS Flight 2976, which was carrying three crew members and 50,000 gallons of jet fuel. The Hawaii-bound plane reportedly lifted off from the runway with one wing on fire before flipping on its side and crashing to the ground at Louisville’s Muhammed Ali International Airport around 5:15 p.m. Shocking video from the scene shows the aircraft exploding in a massive fireball.

**Community and Company Respond**

In a statement, UPS said it was “terribly saddened” by the accident and offered “heartfelt thoughts” to everyone involved. “We will work tirelessly with state and local authorities on response efforts,” the global shipping and logistics company stated.

Authorities urge anyone with missing family members connected to the incident to contact the reunification center for assistance. Updates will continue as new information emerges from ongoing search and investigation efforts.

Man fleeing immigration agents is fatally struck by a vehicle on a Virginia highway

A 24-year-old Honduran man, Josué Castro Rivera, who was fleeing federal immigration agents in Virginia, died on a highway after being struck by a vehicle. His death follows recent incidents in which three other immigrants in Chicago and California were killed during immigration enforcement operations under the Trump administration’s crackdown.

Castro Rivera was headed to a gardening job on Thursday when his vehicle was pulled over by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, according to his brother, Henry Castro. Agents attempted to detain Castro Rivera and the three other passengers in the vehicle. Castro Rivera fled on foot, tried to cross Interstate 264 in Norfolk, and was fatally struck by a passing vehicle, according to state and federal authorities.

Castro Rivera had come to the United States four years ago and was working to send money to his family in Honduras, his brother said. “He had a very good heart,” Henry Castro shared on Sunday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that Castro Rivera’s vehicle was stopped by ICE as part of a “targeted, intelligence-based” operation. Passengers were detained for allegedly living in the country without legal permission. DHS said in a statement that Castro Rivera “resisted heavily and fled,” and died after being hit by a passing vehicle.

Virginia State Police reported that officers responded to a vehicle-pedestrian crash at around 11 a.m. Thursday on eastbound I-264 near the Military Highway interchange. The victim was struck by a 2002 Ford pickup and pronounced dead at the scene. The crash remains under investigation.

Federal authorities and state police referred to the man as Jose, while family members said his name was Josué. Neither DHS nor state police have explained the discrepancy.

Henry Castro called his brother’s death an injustice and is raising funds to transport Josué’s body back to Honduras for the funeral. “He didn’t deserve everything that happened to him,” he said.

DHS blamed Castro Rivera’s death on “a direct result of every politician, activist and reporter who continue to spread propaganda and misinformation about ICE’s mission and ways to avoid detention.”

Similar deaths during immigration operations elsewhere have sparked protests, lawsuits, and calls for investigations amid claims that initial accounts by the Trump administration were misleading.

Last month, in suburban Chicago, federal immigration agents fatally shot a Mexican man during a traffic stop. DHS initially claimed a federal officer was “seriously injured,” but police body camera footage later showed the officer walking around and describing the injuries as minor.

In July, a farmworker died after falling from a greenhouse roof during a chaotic ICE raid at a California cannabis facility. And in August, another man fled from federal agents onto a freeway in California and was fatally struck by a vehicle.

These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about the methods and consequences of immigration enforcement operations in the United States.

Driver of Hyundai Sonata sought in El Cajon hit-and-run

Investigators are searching for a motorist involved in a hit-and-run incident that left a pedestrian seriously injured in El Cajon.

The incident occurred at approximately 10 p.m. on Thursday at the intersection of Main and Orlando streets. According to the El Cajon Police Department, a westbound sedan struck a 63-year-old woman.

After the collision, the driver continued driving and fled the scene, Lt. Joe Crawford reported. Paramedics promptly transported the victim to a hospital where she is receiving treatment for severe injuries.

Officials were able to identify the vehicle involved as a Hyundai Sonata. The car was later found abandoned near the accident site. However, as of early Friday afternoon, the driver remained at large, Lt. Crawford confirmed.

Authorities urge anyone with information about the incident or the driver’s whereabouts to come forward.

Man Dies After Being Run Over by Festival Float in Osaka

As of 4:50 a.m. on October 13, Typhoon No. 23 (Nakri) was located approximately 90 kilometers south-southwest of Hachijojima, moving east-northeast at around 30 kilometers per hour. Meteorologists have warned that the typhoon is expected to pass near the Izu Islands on Monday morning.

Aogashima has already entered the typhoon’s gale zone, and Hachijojima is expected to follow shortly as winds intensify and conditions rapidly deteriorate. A maximum instantaneous wind speed of 28.7 meters per second was recorded on Hachijojima. Gusts near the typhoon’s center could reach up to 50 meters per second, posing a serious risk of destructive winds on both Hachijojima and Aogashima.

The Japan Meteorological Agency announced that satellite images from the Himawari-9 weather satellite are currently unavailable due to a communication failure. Although some functions have been restored through the backup satellite Himawari-8, key nighttime observation data, such as infrared imagery, remain inaccessible.

In other news, a new survey by the Japan Sports Agency reveals that people who participated in school sports clubs or athletic circles are significantly more likely to maintain regular exercise habits after graduation compared to those who did not.

Meanwhile, Japanese politics faces uncertainty following the abrupt collapse of the long-standing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)-Komeito coalition ahead of the upcoming prime ministerial vote. This development complicates the path for Takaichi to take office and has intensified behind-the-scenes maneuvering among all major parties.

Earlier this week, Takaichi visited the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) headquarters, where she faced criticism over remarks describing an opposition figure as “damaged goods,” highlighting heightened tensions just two days before Komeito’s dramatic departure from the coalition.

Lastly, the number of foreign residents in Japan has reached a record high of nearly 4 million, according to the Immigration Services Agency. As of the end of June, 3,956,619 foreign nationals were living in the country, an increase of about 190,000 from the end of 2023, marking the highest total on record.

Beachgoers witness helicopter crash into palms in Southern California

A helicopter coasting above a popular Southern California beach on Saturday suddenly lost control and began spiraling in midair. The aircraft eventually lost altitude and slammed into a row of palm trees as stunned sunbathers and beachgoers watched.

Multiple videos posted online show the helicopter twirling clockwise above Huntington Beach before plunging toward the edge of the beach. The aircraft became wedged between the palm trees and a staircase near Pacific Coast Highway.

The Huntington Beach Fire Department reported that five people were hospitalized. Two of those injured were in the helicopter and were “safely pulled from the wreckage.” Three others on the street also sustained injuries. Details on the severity of their injuries were not immediately available.

No cause for the accident has been released. The department noted that the helicopter was associated with an annual “Cars ‘N Copters” fundraising event planned for Sunday.
