LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WLKY) — Khalil Love said that in the year he’s worked at the UPS Supply Chain Solutions, which sits around 500 feet from the end of a runway at Muhammad Ali International Airport, he never thought about a plane hitting his building. Until Tuesday, when it did.
“We lived by a very narrow margin,” said Love. “Because if they didn’t manage to pull up, I think I wouldn’t be standing right now.”
Love described hearing the plane hitting the building, then running outside to see a cloud of smoke. He said he and his coworkers then left the premises and have yet to return. He remains shaken but grateful to be alive.
“It was just mind-boggling that, like, we all just came so close to being wiped off the census,” Love said.
Currently, employees have been asked to stay away from the premises until the building is deemed safe for return.
