The crash occurred after the plane's engine detached during takeoff, leading to a fireball that impacted nearby businesses. Colina, who had recently moved to Louisville and worked at a scrapyard, was among the survivors initially but succumbed to his injuries on Christmas Day. Lawsuits have been filed alleging maintenance issues with the aircraft, and all MD-11 planes involved have been grounded pending investigation.
