One year after Flight 2976, we remember the 15 lives lost and hold their loved ones close in our hearts.
We remain grateful to the first responders, community partners, Louisville residents and UPSers who showed extraordinary care and compassion in the days that followed and who continue to support one another.
Today, we pause to honor those we lost, support all who were affected, and recognize the strength of a community that came together in a moment of unimaginable heartbreak.
