The United Parcel Service and FedEx announced on Friday the immediate grounding of its MD-11 planes, a move that comes just days after a deadly crash involving one of the jets in Kentucky. At least 14 people were killed after a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo plane belonging to UPS crashed shortly after takeoff in Louisville

The federal directive comes after two of three companies that operate the planes publicly announced they would ground their fleets.

Following the crash, UPS decided to temporarily take the MD-11 out of service. This was done “out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of safety,” UPS said in a statement. The company “made this decision proactively at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer.

The company’s “proactive” decision is an exercise in damage control intended to conceal its prioritization of profit above safety.

The UPS plane whose engine exploded in Kentucky had flown out of Baltimore Marshall Airport less than 12 hours earlier.

Nineteen bodies have been recovered from the wreckage, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday. The C-130 was flying from Azerbaijan to Turkey.
