The crew of doomed UPS Flight 2976 only had seconds to react to emergency notifications before the plane crashed into businesses located just outside of Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) on Nov. 4, according to the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) analysis of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR).
“About 37 seconds after the crew called for takeoff thrust, a repeating bell was heard on the CVR, which persisted until the end of the recording, 25 seconds later,” NTSB member Todd Inman said during a media briefing on Nov. 7.
