UPS Never Required Inspection of the Part That Failed in the Deadly Louisville Crash

  • UPS never told its mechanics to inspect the small engine-mount bearing that cracked and sent an engine tearing off a cargo jet during takeoff from Louisville last fall, killing 15 people, investigators say.
  • The airline instead relied on years-old assurances from Boeing that such a failure posed no safety risk — even after several earlier fractures had been reported.
