In November 2025, a cargo plane departing a Kentucky airfield fell back to earth before it could truly leave it — never climbing beyond thirty feet before a detached engine made flight impossible. Fourteen people died: three in the cockpit, eleven on the ground who had no warning at all. Federal investigators have now released video that transforms a mechanical abstraction into a visible, frame-by-frame reckoning, placing the question of preventability at the center of an ongoing inquiry into how the machine was maintained, certified, and trusted.
