Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
AM six forty and is the Conway Show. Mark Thompson's
in the hat show.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm excited to be here. Everything, please be seated. Everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You enjoy that the Dodger game. As a Giants fan,
I love well.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You know it's true that if the Giants, but man,
I was excited. I know so many Dodgers founders. Was
so excited. They played so well, unbelieva and I felt
as though it was one of the great world It's
probably the greatest World series in my life.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean, I think it's the greatest World series ever.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
But I also think that's the best game set, maybe
the best World Series game ever.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Game seven, well, I thought the eighteen inning game was
pretty amazing. But you're right, this game was punctuated by
so many dramatic moments. You know, the throw out at
the plate, the the the extra innings in this game.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You're right, the home runs late at the game to
tie it up and then to go ahead. But also,
I mean, you know, the catch by a pause Pajas
out in the outfield over key k Hernandez. I mean,
it's unbelievable how it all came together. We talked about
this yesterday, but it was a sports site that has
all the you probably know it. It has all the
(01:16):
fractions on who's going to win. And there's a moving
scale at one point in the with one out in
the ninth inning in that game, in the bottom of
the ninth and on the top of the ninth no
botto of the nine bottom of the ninth inning, with
one got with one out, this website had it ninety
one point seven percent chance that Toronto's going to win
the World Series. Ninety one point seven percent, So that
(01:37):
means only what eight point three percent chance to win
the World Series.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They did it, crazy, crazy, really really super impressive men.
You know, I remember I was here at KOFI on
that Wednesday night, and on that Wednesday night, the Dodgers
had dropped the key game, so now they you know,
they have to win two in Toronto at that point,
and I'd said on the air, but I I really
believe that Dodgers can do it. They have the firepower
(02:03):
and they have the intensity, and they did. I mean,
it's just spectacular baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I could not believe what my eyes were seeing when
I watched that game, and I've watched it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I watched it again last night, so I've watched it one.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Two, three, four, I've watched it four times fast forward
through the commercial.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
But well that's but that's what I mean, you and
many like you so into it that I really wanted
you guys to win. I mean, it was a very
it was a very exciting. I was excited for everybody.
Who so who's and I think La needs a you know,
needed a lift, and we got one.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It was truly remarkable. I just couldn't believe it. I
mean I look at like, what.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Wow, No, as you said, the odds are so against
the Dodgers. At one point, it just seemed like, okay,
it's game over.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It is a wild man. It's a long game, right.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So if you can bet those betting sites that you
like so much, Tim, if you had bet and there
was ninety one point seven.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, there's ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So all you have to do is put up you know,
eight dollars to win one hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, and who's who does? Nobody does it?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You know, But plus you got to get those bets
in quick. I mean, you know the next pitch beds down.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
That's the thing about live betting.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, live betting is another way to lose everything, you
own everything. It's just over live betting. Tell people for
what if they don't know what live betting.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Is, well, they're just the biggest change in UH online
wagering has been not just betting on the outcome of
the game, but you can bet during the game on
the changing odds of the outcome of the game. And
you can even bet on individual pitches, and that's been
a controversy as you know, an individual performance during the game.
(03:53):
So betting during the game while it's being played is
called live betting. And the problem with it is that
you think you have a feel for the game, just
as you might have felt I'm going to bet you
know this Toronto money will be easy. These Blue Jays
are going to put away the Dodgers, and then before
you know it, you're and you're having the lays so much.
Oh yeah for the team. That's way I had.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You would have to put up nine hundred and nine
hundred and ten dollars to win a thousand, sure, and
probably somebody did that, you know. I mean those bets
often pay off. You know who comes.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Back like that?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It was it was um Blue.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
All right, we've got a plane crash. I know that
you're not excited to hear about this because you're going
to Colombia to want to pick up a key lower two.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm going for a wedding. Wedding. Yeah, but we're definitely
anxious about flying.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Is cocaine cheaper in Colombia than it is here?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I will politely for back, but I don't tell. Yeah,
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's got to be.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I mean, it's pretty I don't know if you've seen
the you know, the Musco Bartling ways, but they're pretty dangerous.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now. Coincidentally, it's an Escobar wedding, so maybe there will
be some people there who know. Yeah, I'll ask you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But you are going to Columbia for a wedding. I
am what a worldly guy you are?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, I actually I have always wanted to go to Columbia.
I didn't really want to go during a time when
the President of the United States is threatening war there,
but I am going to go nonetheless, just to show
the love.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I've never been to Columbia. The furthest South I've been,
I think is Tijuana. Oh no, no, I went to
uh Cobos San Lucas and also to what is that
romantic Placapoco. Oh yeah, I was at Cabo San Lucas
with a friend of mine I'm sorry, port of our
with a friend of mine, gouy named Mark Asher, and
(05:39):
we just flew down there. You know, when you're stupid
in your early twenties, you get a cheap flight, you
go down for you know, five days, and you spend
you know days in the pool, you know, trying to
get local chicks.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
They turn you down, you come home.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, And so we did that and we were in
a bar and it was when the movie The Lady
in Red was very popular.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Remember that movie The Lady and yes, his dancing with
the cheek to cheat that song.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Okay, So we went to Burgh, who was at Chris
de Burgh, Christ Burgh whatever that dude. So we're in
we go trapesing up this hill to a local bar
and there's a guy in there with a piano or
a guitar and he's he's strumming away and he's singing
that song, but he's not singing the lyrics, you know,
(06:24):
just the melody. And then he started singing the lyrics
and I remember you go, he said.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The lady in jaed.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It was close close, that was great. But I guess ye,
where was that? That was in part of our art? No,
that was that was import of art? Yeah, TV, But
did you have a success in a capoca like a
hot girlfriend?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I told you some time ago that I went to
ac I had a very exciting trip to very uh.
You know, somebody was very into, stunningly beautiful. She was
from New York. Of course, I'm here in LA and
make the arrangements and I send her a ticket.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Money bags comes up big.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
And we're going to meet in the first class, which
is Acapulka. I think it was a business class seat.
I don't recall, but I got this hotel which is
very romantic. We're going to be there for a week.
Wow and she uh and I arrived first and while
I'm there, the message comes in. I've just had a
car accident on the way to the airport and I've
(07:27):
hurt my neck the old car accident. And I said,
don't worry about it. They've got great PT people down here.
There's physical therapy, we have doctors. As I don't sweat it.
I'm glad you're okay. Yeah, we've got doctor. I got
a doctor right here. In fact time, I'm just dictating
this text to this doctor who said he's saying you're
gonna be fine.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
She was an O show. I didn't come down. Yeah.
I later found it. Really man, that's brutal. Man. You're
down in the Acapalla. It's very romantic.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
They called it the Riviera of Mexico.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, I believe that it's got that name. Anyway, the
truth came out like a year and a half later,
and she was having an affair with her mentor. I
believe it was Ah, she said. And when I spoke
to her and she said, you probably figured out I was.
I was like, I didn't figure it out. I was.
When they're waiting for you, that's what was going on.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Sod you fly right homeward, you stay a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I stayed. I stayed, Yeah, I stayed. It was pretty no,
but it's pretty lonely. You know, when you're there at
these restaurants and they have these beautiful restaurants and they
overlook this. As I say this, kind of it looks
like the Amalfi Coast kind of got this.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You're there by yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, it's pretty brutal.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah. I had a friend of mine who was dating
this really hot model from I think Brazil, and they
had broken it off and he hadn't seen her for
a couple of years. But she called him and said, Hey,
I have got these tickets for a big New Year's
party with the ball dropping. I get VIP tickets. I
don't want to go with anybody here. If you fly in,
we'll go together. He gets on the next plane and
he's gone. You know guys will do that. Sure, you
(08:54):
get a call like that, you throw a sweater. Hear
that into Yeah, you throw a sweater on and you're gone.
So he gets on a plane, flies there, goes to
apartment the day before New Year's. He gets there on seven,
eight o'clock at night, knocks on the door. She opens
it up. She's gained one hundred and eighty pounds. It
was before the internet. It was before you know, you
(09:16):
could sort of figure that out while you're still in
la I see.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And it killed his buzz.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
He wasn't into her anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You've crystallized my thoughts. That's exactly right, Okay, Yeah, well,
I mean it was it was a big deal. I mean,
she's gained another person. I see, she's gained me. How
did he handle it?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He left and he went home, and he flew back
to Los Hangle.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh he didn't spend the evening with her the New
Year's Eve? Did you hear this story? I'm just saying, well,
what do you do? What do you just turn? You
just pivot and turn and go, oh, nice to see you.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But I think he said what happened to you?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And then he flew home.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I think I would have just gone to New Year's Eve.
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Did you hear this story?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
All right? You hear that story?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I didn't say the whole word. I didn't say the
whole we we used that term on Can I say, oh,
she's a huge witch? Can I say that?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Hey, look it was back in the eighties when guys
were really superficial.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Now, now you you'd marry her, you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Just yeah, just to just to not hurt her feelings.
That's right, that's right, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now what's the stelly crossing her arms staring at me?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's like a hedgehog here? All right, all right, we
got to take a break. It keeps getting worse. I know,
I know, I know, God Almighty, you tay one story
on the air and the whole building collapses on you.
All right, we're live on KF I am six forty
k IF, I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Mark Thompson is in the house. Yeah, we'll have a
results Street Nited seven. Nothing really coming in yet. Oh no,
I guess the Virginia the Republican one in Virginia, the
Republican one in New Jersey, the Republican one in New York.
For there, Wow, clean, sweet wow. I love your I
love the websites you check. Yeah, I'm checking the.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Echo Chamber dot Com.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Only republicanswin dot Com. No, there's there's no. In thirty
five minutes, the New Jersey polls will close. And if
you care who is governor of New Jersey and you
don't live in New Jersey or you're not from New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You got to get a life.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You've got to pull yourself away from some of these,
you know, politics, because everybody I know who is radically
into politics, they like, live and breathe that that crap
every day is It just drives them crazy. It drives
them nuts and you shouldn't be that way, all right.
We had a plane crash in a cargo plane. Are
(11:55):
ups plane? Yeah, this is pretty debs horrible. It's on
its way to Huai. So if you're leaving, I think
it was like I think it was Louisville, Kentucky, Louisville Airport.
If you leave Louisville Airport for Hawaii, that must have
been twelve or thirteen thousand gallons of jet fuel on
that plane and it exploded on takeoff. Every it was
(12:17):
loaded with fuel and packages.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It didn't have a there was an engine issue. I mean,
obviously I guess that there looks like but it did.
It looked like an engine was on fire as it
took off. And these you know, poor guys who were
they were in for a great weekend. You know, they're
going to fly to Hawaii and hang out for a
couple of days and then fly another jet bag that's
you know, with no passengers to deal with.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
You know, you're just the guys.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
There's a couple of guys sitting up in front of
the cockpit cockpit you know, probably blown a little weed.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And you don't think that happens. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You don't think that happened on a flight, for on
a nine hour flight from Louisville to Hawaii. You don't
think somebody has a drink or somebody blows a little weed.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I don't think so. Really, I think that they're professionals.
Really you would. I think we're applying our own what
we would do, because we're not professional pilots. Maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's a strange breed if they're all totally sober doing
that odd breed.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I mean, I go what you're saying. It's a long
way and it's wire to wire. I think computer, right,
and once you take off, I mean, I think it's
the computer is doing the flying. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Those planes can take off, fly and land by themselves. Yeah,
I used to. I had an apartment in Seal Beach,
and I quickly discovered that all the test pilots also
lived in my building for Boeing. And so when I
went to barbecue and I saw them barbecuing, I grabbed
whatever steaks or Hamburger had and I ran to the
barbecue and just pretending I was cooking something, just to
(13:39):
talk to these guys. And they had a joke that
the new seven eighty seven from Boeing. The cockpit only
had room for a pilot and a dog. And I said,
really is that truely? Because yeah, pilot a dog up front?
I said, I said, why is that? He said, Well,
it's it's the pilot's job to feed the dog, and
it's the dog's job to bite the pilot if he
(14:00):
touches anything.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
All right, right. The idea is that this plane can
fly itself.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Right, but on the boredom sets in, so you blow
a little weed or to have a little pop.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I see, you know, all right, you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Can't you imagine being that.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You know, when you fly to New York and you're
in coach or you're in business class, do you have
a couple?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Right, that's not the same. Really, I'm not flying the
plane I'm flying. I'm in business or coach.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
That's right. Okay, which is even dull? All right, let's
find out this is this is serious though. This is
a bad really bad vibes here for Louisville. Really, I
mean a horrible plane crack.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Oval is home to the UPS World Port, a major
North American cargo hub, with thick smoke on reports of
explosions near the scene authorities issued a shelter in place
for the immediate area.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Five miles around shelter in place, she said, looks like
it hit like a fuel depot too.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
At this hour, it's not clear what cargo the plane
might have been ca The FAA says UPS. Flight twenty
nine seventy six was departing for Honolulu when the crash occurred.
The FAA and NTSB will lead the investigation. In a statement,
UPS says, it has been notified of an incident accident
involving one of our aircraft in Louisville Muhammad Ali International
(15:18):
Airport tonight is closed and there is no movement on
the runway whatsoever. And with that, Tom joins us now
tell any idea how many crew members might have been
on board? And what do we know about that plane?
So Ups says, three crew members who were on board
this flight. Again, it was supposed to go all the
way to Honolulu. The MD eleven is an older plane.
(15:38):
It was really this one we believe was from nineteen
ninety one. Initially this is a wide body plane used
as a passenger plane for long distances, but had recently
really most of them had been converted to cargo planes
over the last ten years or so. This is the
plane you may recall that has an engine on the tail,
so three engines in total, one on the tail. And
(15:58):
what's concerning tonight is what might have been in the
cargo was simply don't know that. And then supparately, when
the plane crashed, did it hit the airport's fuel farm,
the fuel tanks.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's what it looks like. It looks like it hit
the fuel farm and a massive explosion.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
There's an awful lot of jet fuel that appears to
be on fire.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Right now, that's horrible.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We'll have updates all night long on that.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
At seven o'clock, Chris Merrill and Michael Monks takeover with

Speaker 1 (17:17):
That flight that crashed was leaving Louisville, Kentucky, and it
was going to Honolulu. That is a thirteen hour flight
twelve hours and forty minutes by with headwinds probably about
a thirteen hour flight, so thirteen hours in the cockpit.
They probably had two sets of crews and got helped
(17:39):
those guys and goals who probably lost their lives today
looking forward to a great trip getting there, hanging out
Hawaii for a couple of days and then flying back
to Louisville without a whole pass a whole boatload of passengers,
you know, bringing you stuff for telling you, you know,
(18:00):
their theories on how your landing was and how rough
it was, and you know, when are we going to
get there? It's a pain in the ass. But you
weren't you dating a pilot from Luftanza.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, from Germany.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
You get around, buddy, You're all over the place.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
She's terrific, this this firstone. But she was a pilot
for Oftanza and she actually I mean, first of all,
the training program to wouldcome a pilot for Loftanza is
really intense, and she quit because she was bored. She's
really boring in the in the it's what you're talking about,
which is why.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
But they have strict rules.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's kind so this is the wildest one because it's
just as you said, they're long.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Flights, sure, and thirteen hours.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
She said that it is Luftanza policy, and it is
not just a policy that people ignored.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
It's a policy that people adhere to. Well, they're recording
of the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh, I didn't know that. She said that you're not
allowed to speak in the pilot in the what do
they call cockpit, right, the pilots and co pilot. You're
not allowed to speak about anything that's not related to
the flight. I mean imagine that.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
For thirteen hours. Yeah, that's wild. That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Man, because it goes when the you know, cruse control
takes over, there's nothing to do.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And that's what she said. She said, it is completely computerized.
It's just it's so boring. And she quit finally. I
mean I mentioned how hard it is to go, you know,
the simulator. You go through all this stuff and you've
got to take all these it's a very rigorous program.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, and then they trust you with all those passengers
and with that, you know, eighty million dollar plane you're flying.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
She said that when they arrived in the Middle East,
she flew a lot of Europe and the Middle East.
She said, the Middle East like flight crew on the ground,
ground crew maybe they call it. Never could believe that
she's the pilot because she's a woman. They said, can
we talk to the captain? She said, I am the captain.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm with them, the captain here.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
She had all this stuff, and then at the end
of they go, yeah, great, can we speak to the captain? Though, yeah,
I owned the captain. That's what I'm telling you. This stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'll tell you a true story.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And this happened because and I witnessed it with my
own two eyes and my ears. My dad Tim Conway
was playing with Harvey Corman and Reno, Nevada, and they
would fly out on a Friday, do Friday Saturday show
and then fly home and be back by Saturday night,
or if they if they wanted to gamble and stay,
they'd come home Sunday. So they usually flew by private
(20:32):
jet because they were doing three shows a weekend. They
would do you know, Reno on a Friday, you know,
wash Vancouver or Seattle on a Saturday, and then Arizona
on a Sunday. And they couldn't with commercial airliners. It
was too rough to book at all and late night
flights and stuff, so they usually took a private plane.
But on this case we were going on a on
(20:53):
a commercial jet because they were just going to Reno
for Friday and Saturday and flying home on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And my dad said, hey, do you want to And
I said.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, you know, I got nothing going on and he said,
oh great, he said, you know, come along with us.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It was a great experience.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
So we go to Lax We check in, check the
bags in and everything, all the props for the show.
Everything's all set and then we're waiting for the flight,
and they finally say, you know, flight forty nine from
Lax to Reno, please board on kate thirty five A.
So we go in and it's myself, it's my dad,
(21:28):
it's Harvey Korman. And Harvey Korman gets on first. He's
in front of us, and these two women are standing there.
When he gets on the plane on American Airlines Lax
Arena and my and Harvey Korman is very generous, saying, hey,
how are you and they both said they were huge
fans of his and they loved his movies and it's
TV working, Oh, it's great. And then he looked in
(21:49):
the cockpit and he said, hey, where are the pilots.
You know, the pilots weren't on the plane yet. And
the two women look at each other and they said,
we're the pilots. And Harvey said, oh, that's great. That
is fantastic, guys. I'll catch you there and got off
the plane. Wow, he's And I said to him, you know,
(22:12):
he arrived like six hours later. I said what was
that all about? And he said, well, I'm old school.
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah you are. That's really old school.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Then let's go to there's a press conference on there.
All right, let's go to on Channel five.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Fire Department, Jeffersontown Fire Department, Airport Police Department, Louisville Metro Police,
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Saint Matthew's Police Department, Shively Police Department, KSP,
Louisville Metro EMS MSD, Louisville Gas and Electric Kentucky Emergency Management. Again,
(22:47):
we have virtually every single fire police an emergency response
group that is responding right now to what you're seeing.
At this time, We've got some initial but let me
tell you, I expect them to grow. Right now, we
believe we have at least three fatalities. Oh, I believe
that number is going to get larger. We have at
(23:10):
least eleven injuries, some of them very significant, that are
being treated by local hospitals. Again, I think that that
number will get larger. There is a victim family reunification
center being set up at the Louisville Metro Police Training
Academy that is twenty nine eleven Taylor Boulevard. Victim Services
(23:31):
personnel will be on site and on location or anyone
who needs information. The United Way is also offering shelter
to anybody that's been impacted, you can call them at
five oh two three seven six six' six one. Seven
updates on the operation of The Louisville International airport will
be shared after we're completed here around eight point fifteen
(23:53):
by a press conference With Louisville Emergency. Management right, now
we believe that the main area hit consisted of two,
businesses though we know there were more businesses. Impacted the
first Is Kentucky Petroleum. Recycling we are seeking more, information
but it looks like they were hit pretty. Directly the
(24:15):
second Is GRADE A Auto. Parts GRADE a has been in.
Contact they've accounted for all of their employees, two but
they do not know how many other, individuals, customers or
others could have been.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
On site at the.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Time because of the nature of these, facilities it maybe
sometime before we can account for everyone or know that
no one else was on the. Grounds they're going to
provide us with descriptions of the two missing employees. Soon,
again there's no direct information about non employees who were
there at the. Time the radius for the shelter in
(24:52):
place has been. Adjusted it is now anything north of
the airport to The Ohio river that includes without. Limitations South,
Louisville Old louisville and DOWNTOWN lg AND e had some
equipment that has been, damaged but they're reporting no major
outages at the. Time they, may for safety, purposes have
(25:13):
to have some. Outages please understand that if that's, done
that's to protect you and the people working on. It
i've been in direct contact with THE ceo Of Ford Motor.
COMPANY i can tell you that The ford plant there
was not, hit though it has lost power or did
lose power for a period of, time but with a
number of employees working, there that's a. Blessing i've also
(25:36):
been in touch with the head of security for the
convention center and everyone is sheltering in place that is.
There they have stopped people coming in for the upcoming
events for people's, safety AND i know they'll be sending
out additional. Information anybody who has seen the images in
(25:57):
the video know how violent this crash, is and there
are a lot of families that are going to be
waiting and wondering for a period of. Time we're going
to try to get them that information as fast as we.
Can but if this is a family you, know please
give them your. Support please give them your. Prayers please
give them your love and be with, them because the toughest,
(26:20):
moments AND i can say it from personal, experience are
when you're wondering whether that person that you know and
you care about has survived something like. This we do
not at the moment have the status of the crew
watching that. VIDEO i think we're all, very very worried about.
Them i'm going to turn it over now To Julie

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Forty you're listening To Tim Conway junior on demand FROM
KFI am six forty
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
AM six forty and is the Conway Show. Mark Thompson's
in the hat show.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm excited to be here. Everything, please be seated. Everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You enjoy that the Dodger game. As a Giants fan,
I love well.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You know it's true that if the Giants, but man,
I was excited. I know so many Dodgers founders. Was
so excited. They played so well, unbelieva and I felt
as though it was one of the great world It's
probably the greatest World series in my life.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean, I think it's the greatest World series ever.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
But I also think that's the best game set, maybe
the best World Series game ever.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Game seven, well, I thought the eighteen inning game was
pretty amazing. But you're right, this game was punctuated by
so many dramatic moments. You know, the throw out at
the plate, the the the extra innings in this game.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You're right, the home runs late at the game to
tie it up and then to go ahead. But also,
I mean, you know, the catch by a pause Pajas
out in the outfield over key k Hernandez. I mean,
it's unbelievable how it all came together. We talked about
this yesterday, but it was a sports site that has
all the you probably know it. It has all the
(01:16):
fractions on who's going to win. And there's a moving
scale at one point in the with one out in
the ninth inning in that game, in the bottom of
the ninth and on the top of the ninth no
botto of the nine bottom of the ninth inning, with
one got with one out, this website had it ninety
one point seven percent chance that Toronto's going to win
the World Series. Ninety one point seven percent, So that
(01:37):
means only what eight point three percent chance to win
the World Series.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They did it, crazy, crazy, really really super impressive men.
You know, I remember I was here at KOFI on
that Wednesday night, and on that Wednesday night, the Dodgers
had dropped the key game, so now they you know,
they have to win two in Toronto at that point,
and I'd said on the air, but I I really
believe that Dodgers can do it. They have the firepower
(02:03):
and they have the intensity, and they did. I mean,
it's just spectacular baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I could not believe what my eyes were seeing when
I watched that game, and I've watched it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I watched it again last night, so I've watched it one.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Two, three, four, I've watched it four times fast forward
through the commercial.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
But well that's but that's what I mean, you and
many like you so into it that I really wanted
you guys to win. I mean, it was a very
it was a very exciting. I was excited for everybody.
Who so who's and I think La needs a you know,
needed a lift, and we got one.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It was truly remarkable. I just couldn't believe it. I
mean I look at like, what.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Wow, No, as you said, the odds are so against
the Dodgers. At one point, it just seemed like, okay,
it's game over.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It is a wild man. It's a long game, right.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
So if you can bet those betting sites that you
like so much, Tim, if you had bet and there
was ninety one point seven.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, there's ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So all you have to do is put up you know,
eight dollars to win one hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, and who's who does? Nobody does it?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You know, But plus you got to get those bets
in quick. I mean, you know the next pitch beds down.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
That's the thing about live betting.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, live betting is another way to lose everything, you
own everything. It's just over live betting. Tell people for
what if they don't know what live betting.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Is, well, they're just the biggest change in UH online
wagering has been not just betting on the outcome of
the game, but you can bet during the game on
the changing odds of the outcome of the game. And
you can even bet on individual pitches, and that's been
a controversy as you know, an individual performance during the game.
(03:53):
So betting during the game while it's being played is
called live betting. And the problem with it is that
you think you have a feel for the game, just
as you might have felt I'm going to bet you
know this Toronto money will be easy. These Blue Jays
are going to put away the Dodgers, and then before
you know it, you're and you're having the lays so much.
Oh yeah for the team. That's way I had.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You would have to put up nine hundred and nine
hundred and ten dollars to win a thousand, sure, and
probably somebody did that, you know. I mean those bets
often pay off. You know who comes.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Back like that?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It was it was um Blue.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
All right, we've got a plane crash. I know that
you're not excited to hear about this because you're going
to Colombia to want to pick up a key lower two.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm going for a wedding. Wedding. Yeah, but we're definitely
anxious about flying.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Is cocaine cheaper in Colombia than it is here?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I will politely for back, but I don't tell. Yeah,
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's got to be.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I mean, it's pretty I don't know if you've seen
the you know, the Musco Bartling ways, but they're pretty dangerous.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now. Coincidentally, it's an Escobar wedding, so maybe there will
be some people there who know. Yeah, I'll ask you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But you are going to Columbia for a wedding. I
am what a worldly guy you are?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, I actually I have always wanted to go to Columbia.
I didn't really want to go during a time when
the President of the United States is threatening war there,
but I am going to go nonetheless, just to show
the love.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I've never been to Columbia. The furthest South I've been,
I think is Tijuana. Oh no, no, I went to
uh Cobos San Lucas and also to what is that
romantic Placapoco. Oh yeah, I was at Cabo San Lucas
with a friend of mine I'm sorry, port of our
with a friend of mine, gouy named Mark Asher, and
(05:39):
we just flew down there. You know, when you're stupid
in your early twenties, you get a cheap flight, you
go down for you know, five days, and you spend
you know days in the pool, you know, trying to
get local chicks.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
They turn you down, you come home.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, And so we did that and we were in
a bar and it was when the movie The Lady
in Red was very popular.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Remember that movie The Lady and yes, his dancing with
the cheek to cheat that song.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Okay, So we went to Burgh, who was at Chris
de Burgh, Christ Burgh whatever that dude. So we're in
we go trapesing up this hill to a local bar
and there's a guy in there with a piano or
a guitar and he's he's strumming away and he's singing
that song, but he's not singing the lyrics, you know,
(06:24):
just the melody. And then he started singing the lyrics
and I remember you go, he said.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
The lady in jaed.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It was close close, that was great. But I guess ye,
where was that? That was in part of our art? No,
that was that was import of art? Yeah, TV, But
did you have a success in a capoca like a
hot girlfriend?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I told you some time ago that I went to
ac I had a very exciting trip to very uh.
You know, somebody was very into, stunningly beautiful. She was
from New York. Of course, I'm here in LA and
make the arrangements and I send her a ticket.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Money bags comes up big.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
And we're going to meet in the first class, which
is Acapulka. I think it was a business class seat.
I don't recall, but I got this hotel which is
very romantic. We're going to be there for a week.
Wow and she uh and I arrived first and while
I'm there, the message comes in. I've just had a
car accident on the way to the airport and I've
(07:27):
hurt my neck the old car accident. And I said,
don't worry about it. They've got great PT people down here.
There's physical therapy, we have doctors. As I don't sweat it.
I'm glad you're okay. Yeah, we've got doctor. I got
a doctor right here. In fact time, I'm just dictating
this text to this doctor who said he's saying you're
gonna be fine.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
She was an O show. I didn't come down. Yeah.
I later found it. Really man, that's brutal. Man. You're
down in the Acapalla. It's very romantic.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
They called it the Riviera of Mexico.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, I believe that it's got that name. Anyway, the
truth came out like a year and a half later,
and she was having an affair with her mentor. I
believe it was Ah, she said. And when I spoke
to her and she said, you probably figured out I was.
I was like, I didn't figure it out. I was.
When they're waiting for you, that's what was going on.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Sod you fly right homeward, you stay a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I stayed. I stayed, Yeah, I stayed. It was pretty no,
but it's pretty lonely. You know, when you're there at
these restaurants and they have these beautiful restaurants and they
overlook this. As I say this, kind of it looks
like the Amalfi Coast kind of got this.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You're there by yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, it's pretty brutal.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah. I had a friend of mine who was dating
this really hot model from I think Brazil, and they
had broken it off and he hadn't seen her for
a couple of years. But she called him and said, Hey,
I have got these tickets for a big New Year's
party with the ball dropping. I get VIP tickets. I
don't want to go with anybody here. If you fly in,
we'll go together. He gets on the next plane and
he's gone. You know guys will do that. Sure, you
(08:54):
get a call like that, you throw a sweater. Hear
that into Yeah, you throw a sweater on and you're gone.
So he gets on a plane, flies there, goes to
apartment the day before New Year's. He gets there on seven,
eight o'clock at night, knocks on the door. She opens
it up. She's gained one hundred and eighty pounds. It
was before the internet. It was before you know, you
(09:16):
could sort of figure that out while you're still in
la I see.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And it killed his buzz.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
He wasn't into her anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You've crystallized my thoughts. That's exactly right, Okay, Yeah, well,
I mean it was it was a big deal. I mean,
she's gained another person. I see, she's gained me. How
did he handle it?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He left and he went home, and he flew back
to Los Hangle.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh he didn't spend the evening with her the New
Year's Eve? Did you hear this story? I'm just saying, well,
what do you do? What do you just turn? You
just pivot and turn and go, oh, nice to see you.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But I think he said what happened to you?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And then he flew home.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I think I would have just gone to New Year's Eve.
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Did you hear this story?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
All right? You hear that story?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I didn't say the whole word. I didn't say the
whole we we used that term on Can I say, oh,
she's a huge witch? Can I say that?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Hey, look it was back in the eighties when guys
were really superficial.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Now, now you you'd marry her, you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Just yeah, just to just to not hurt her feelings.
That's right, that's right, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now what's the stelly crossing her arms staring at me?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's like a hedgehog here? All right, all right, we
got to take a break. It keeps getting worse. I know,
I know, I know, God Almighty, you tay one story
on the air and the whole building collapses on you.
All right, we're live on KF I am six forty
k IF, I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Mark Thompson is in the house. Yeah, we'll have a
results Street Nited seven. Nothing really coming in yet. Oh no,
I guess the Virginia the Republican one in Virginia, the
Republican one in New Jersey, the Republican one in New York.
For there, Wow, clean, sweet wow. I love your I
love the websites you check. Yeah, I'm checking the.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Echo Chamber dot Com.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Only republicanswin dot Com. No, there's there's no. In thirty
five minutes, the New Jersey polls will close. And if
you care who is governor of New Jersey and you
don't live in New Jersey or you're not from New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You got to get a life.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You've got to pull yourself away from some of these,
you know, politics, because everybody I know who is radically
into politics, they like, live and breathe that that crap
every day is It just drives them crazy. It drives
them nuts and you shouldn't be that way, all right.
We had a plane crash in a cargo plane. Are
(11:55):
ups plane? Yeah, this is pretty debs horrible. It's on
its way to Huai. So if you're leaving, I think
it was like I think it was Louisville, Kentucky, Louisville Airport.
If you leave Louisville Airport for Hawaii, that must have
been twelve or thirteen thousand gallons of jet fuel on
that plane and it exploded on takeoff. Every it was
(12:17):
loaded with fuel and packages.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It didn't have a there was an engine issue. I mean,
obviously I guess that there looks like but it did.
It looked like an engine was on fire as it
took off. And these you know, poor guys who were
they were in for a great weekend. You know, they're
going to fly to Hawaii and hang out for a
couple of days and then fly another jet bag that's
you know, with no passengers to deal with.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
You know, you're just the guys.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
There's a couple of guys sitting up in front of
the cockpit cockpit you know, probably blown a little weed.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And you don't think that happens. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You don't think that happened on a flight, for on
a nine hour flight from Louisville to Hawaii. You don't
think somebody has a drink or somebody blows a little weed.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I don't think so. Really, I think that they're professionals.
Really you would. I think we're applying our own what
we would do, because we're not professional pilots. Maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's a strange breed if they're all totally sober doing
that odd breed.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I mean, I go what you're saying. It's a long
way and it's wire to wire. I think computer, right,
and once you take off, I mean, I think it's
the computer is doing the flying. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Those planes can take off, fly and land by themselves. Yeah,
I used to. I had an apartment in Seal Beach,
and I quickly discovered that all the test pilots also
lived in my building for Boeing. And so when I
went to barbecue and I saw them barbecuing, I grabbed
whatever steaks or Hamburger had and I ran to the
barbecue and just pretending I was cooking something, just to
(13:39):
talk to these guys. And they had a joke that
the new seven eighty seven from Boeing. The cockpit only
had room for a pilot and a dog. And I said,
really is that truely? Because yeah, pilot a dog up front?
I said, I said, why is that? He said, Well,
it's it's the pilot's job to feed the dog, and
it's the dog's job to bite the pilot if he
(14:00):
touches anything.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
All right, right. The idea is that this plane can
fly itself.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Right, but on the boredom sets in, so you blow
a little weed or to have a little pop.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I see, you know, all right, you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Can't you imagine being that.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You know, when you fly to New York and you're
in coach or you're in business class, do you have
a couple?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Right, that's not the same. Really, I'm not flying the
plane I'm flying. I'm in business or coach.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
That's right. Okay, which is even dull? All right, let's
find out this is this is serious though. This is
a bad really bad vibes here for Louisville. Really, I
mean a horrible plane crack.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Oval is home to the UPS World Port, a major
North American cargo hub, with thick smoke on reports of
explosions near the scene authorities issued a shelter in place
for the immediate area.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Five miles around shelter in place, she said, looks like
it hit like a fuel depot too.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
At this hour, it's not clear what cargo the plane
might have been ca The FAA says UPS. Flight twenty
nine seventy six was departing for Honolulu when the crash occurred.
The FAA and NTSB will lead the investigation. In a statement,
UPS says, it has been notified of an incident accident
involving one of our aircraft in Louisville Muhammad Ali International
(15:18):
Airport tonight is closed and there is no movement on
the runway whatsoever. And with that, Tom joins us now
tell any idea how many crew members might have been
on board? And what do we know about that plane?
So Ups says, three crew members who were on board
this flight. Again, it was supposed to go all the
way to Honolulu. The MD eleven is an older plane.
(15:38):
It was really this one we believe was from nineteen
ninety one. Initially this is a wide body plane used
as a passenger plane for long distances, but had recently
really most of them had been converted to cargo planes
over the last ten years or so. This is the
plane you may recall that has an engine on the tail,
so three engines in total, one on the tail. And
(15:58):
what's concerning tonight is what might have been in the
cargo was simply don't know that. And then supparately, when
the plane crashed, did it hit the airport's fuel farm,
the fuel tanks.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's what it looks like. It looks like it hit
the fuel farm and a massive explosion.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
There's an awful lot of jet fuel that appears to
be on fire.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Right now, that's horrible.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We'll have updates all night long on that.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
That flight that crashed was leaving Louisville, Kentucky, and it
was going to Honolulu. That is a thirteen hour flight
twelve hours and forty minutes by with headwinds probably about
a thirteen hour flight, so thirteen hours in the cockpit.
They probably had two sets of crews and got helped
(17:39):
those guys and goals who probably lost their lives today
looking forward to a great trip getting there, hanging out
Hawaii for a couple of days and then flying back
to Louisville without a whole pass a whole boatload of passengers,
you know, bringing you stuff for telling you, you know,
(18:00):
their theories on how your landing was and how rough
it was, and you know, when are we going to
get there? It's a pain in the ass. But you
weren't you dating a pilot from Luftanza.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, from Germany.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
You get around, buddy, You're all over the place.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
She's terrific, this this firstone. But she was a pilot
for Oftanza and she actually I mean, first of all,
the training program to wouldcome a pilot for Loftanza is
really intense, and she quit because she was bored. She's
really boring in the in the it's what you're talking about,
which is why.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
But they have strict rules.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's kind so this is the wildest one because it's
just as you said, they're long.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Flights, sure, and thirteen hours.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
She said that it is Luftanza policy, and it is
not just a policy that people ignored.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
It's a policy that people adhere to. Well, they're recording
of the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh, I didn't know that. She said that you're not
allowed to speak in the pilot in the what do
they call cockpit, right, the pilots and co pilot. You're
not allowed to speak about anything that's not related to
the flight. I mean imagine that.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
For thirteen hours. Yeah, that's wild. That's a long time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Man, because it goes when the you know, cruse control
takes over, there's nothing to do.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And that's what she said. She said, it is completely computerized.
It's just it's so boring. And she quit finally. I
mean I mentioned how hard it is to go, you know,
the simulator. You go through all this stuff and you've
got to take all these it's a very rigorous program.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, and then they trust you with all those passengers
and with that, you know, eighty million dollar plane you're flying.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
She said that when they arrived in the Middle East,
she flew a lot of Europe and the Middle East.
She said, the Middle East like flight crew on the ground,
ground crew maybe they call it. Never could believe that
she's the pilot because she's a woman. They said, can
we talk to the captain? She said, I am the captain.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm with them, the captain here.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
She had all this stuff, and then at the end
of they go, yeah, great, can we speak to the captain? Though, yeah,
I owned the captain. That's what I'm telling you. This stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'll tell you a true story.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And this happened because and I witnessed it with my
own two eyes and my ears. My dad Tim Conway
was playing with Harvey Corman and Reno, Nevada, and they
would fly out on a Friday, do Friday Saturday show
and then fly home and be back by Saturday night,
or if they if they wanted to gamble and stay,
they'd come home Sunday. So they usually flew by private
(20:32):
jet because they were doing three shows a weekend. They
would do you know, Reno on a Friday, you know,
wash Vancouver or Seattle on a Saturday, and then Arizona
on a Sunday. And they couldn't with commercial airliners. It
was too rough to book at all and late night
flights and stuff, so they usually took a private plane.
But on this case we were going on a on
(20:53):
a commercial jet because they were just going to Reno
for Friday and Saturday and flying home on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And my dad said, hey, do you want to And
I said.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, you know, I got nothing going on and he said,
oh great, he said, you know, come along with us.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It was a great experience.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
So we go to Lax We check in, check the
bags in and everything, all the props for the show.
Everything's all set and then we're waiting for the flight,
and they finally say, you know, flight forty nine from
Lax to Reno, please board on kate thirty five A.
So we go in and it's myself, it's my dad,
(21:28):
it's Harvey Korman. And Harvey Korman gets on first. He's
in front of us, and these two women are standing there.
When he gets on the plane on American Airlines Lax
Arena and my and Harvey Korman is very generous, saying, hey,
how are you and they both said they were huge
fans of his and they loved his movies and it's
TV working, Oh, it's great. And then he looked in
(21:49):
the cockpit and he said, hey, where are the pilots.
You know, the pilots weren't on the plane yet. And
the two women look at each other and they said,
we're the pilots. And Harvey said, oh, that's great. That
is fantastic, guys. I'll catch you there and got off
the plane. Wow, he's And I said to him, you know,
(22:12):
he arrived like six hours later. I said what was
that all about? And he said, well, I'm old school.
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah you are. That's really old school.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Then let's go to there's a press conference on there.
All right, let's go to on Channel five.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Fire Department, Jeffersontown Fire Department, Airport Police Department, Louisville Metro Police,
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Saint Matthew's Police Department, Shively Police Department, KSP,
Louisville Metro EMS MSD, Louisville Gas and Electric Kentucky Emergency Management. Again,
(22:47):
we have virtually every single fire police an emergency response
group that is responding right now to what you're seeing.
At this time, We've got some initial but let me
tell you, I expect them to grow. Right now, we
believe we have at least three fatalities. Oh, I believe
that number is going to get larger. We have at
(23:10):
least eleven injuries, some of them very significant, that are
being treated by local hospitals. Again, I think that that
number will get larger. There is a victim family reunification
center being set up at the Louisville Metro Police Training
Academy that is twenty nine eleven Taylor Boulevard. Victim Services
(23:31):
personnel will be on site and on location or anyone
who needs information. The United Way is also offering shelter
to anybody that's been impacted, you can call them at
five oh two three seven six six' six one. Seven
updates on the operation of The Louisville International airport will
be shared after we're completed here around eight point fifteen
(23:53):
by a press conference With Louisville Emergency. Management right, now
we believe that the main area hit consisted of two,
businesses though we know there were more businesses. Impacted the
first Is Kentucky Petroleum. Recycling we are seeking more, information
but it looks like they were hit pretty. Directly the
(24:15):
second Is GRADE A Auto. Parts GRADE a has been in.
Contact they've accounted for all of their employees, two but
they do not know how many other, individuals, customers or
others could have been.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
On site at the.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Time because of the nature of these, facilities it maybe
sometime before we can account for everyone or know that
no one else was on the. Grounds they're going to
provide us with descriptions of the two missing employees. Soon,
again there's no direct information about non employees who were
there at the. Time the radius for the shelter in
(24:52):
place has been. Adjusted it is now anything north of
the airport to The Ohio river that includes without. Limitations South,
Louisville Old louisville and DOWNTOWN lg AND e had some
equipment that has been, damaged but they're reporting no major
outages at the. Time they, may for safety, purposes have
(25:13):
to have some. Outages please understand that if that's, done
that's to protect you and the people working on. It
i've been in direct contact with THE ceo Of Ford Motor.
COMPANY i can tell you that The ford plant there
was not, hit though it has lost power or did
lose power for a period of, time but with a
number of employees working, there that's a. Blessing i've also
(25:36):
been in touch with the head of security for the
convention center and everyone is sheltering in place that is.
There they have stopped people coming in for the upcoming
events for people's, safety AND i know they'll be sending
out additional. Information anybody who has seen the images in
(25:57):
the video know how violent this crash, is and there
are a lot of families that are going to be
waiting and wondering for a period of. Time we're going
to try to get them that information as fast as we.
Can but if this is a family you, know please
give them your. Support please give them your. Prayers please
give them your love and be with, them because the toughest,
(26:20):
moments AND i can say it from personal, experience are
when you're wondering whether that person that you know and
you care about has survived something like. This we do
not at the moment have the status of the crew
watching that. VIDEO i think we're all, very very worried about.
