Capt. Richard Wartenberg, 57, First Officer Lee Truitt, 45, and International Relief Officer Capt. Dana Diamond, 62, were previously identified by UPS as the three pilots operating Flight 2976 when it crashed just south of the city’s Muhammad Ali International Airport on Nov. 4 shortly after takeoff.

“Our city feels the full weight of this unimaginable tragedy,” Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said Wednesday at a news conference, where the coroner named each victim, WLWT5 reported.

“Each of these victims represents a life full of purpose, interrupted far too soon. And also, a life that will never fade because we’ll always remember them.”

The UPS jet was carrying about 50,000 gallons of fuel when it took off from the airport, with footage showing the plane’s left engine completely engulfed in flames as it sped down the runway for takeoff.

“We have viewed airport CCTV security coverage, which shows the left engine detaching from the wing during the takeoff roll,” National Transportation Safety Board Member Todd Inman said at a news conference last week.

The NTSB is further investigating the crash.
