Summary
The Senate unanimously adopted Senate Resolution 10 recognizing the victims and commending responders to the Nov. 4, 2025 UPS Flight 2976 crash near Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport; the sponsor named crew and ground victims and praised emergency personnel.
The Kentucky Senate on Jan. 13 adopted Senate Resolution 10 to honor victims and commend first responders involved in the Nov. 4, 2025 crash of UPS Flight 2976 near Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.
Senator Herron, identified in the reading as the senator from Jefferson, described the crash and named three members of the flight crew — Captain Dana Diamond, Captain Richard Wattenberg and First Officer Lee Truitt — and multiple people on the ground who were killed or later died of injuries. "Our first responders ran toward danger without hesitation," he said, thanking local, state and national partners for their response.
The resolution was read by the clerk and adopted by a voice vote with no recorded opposition. Senator Herron asked the Senate to stand for a moment of silence in honor of the victims and those who responded.
Outcome: Senate Resolution 10 was adopted by the body. No subsequent legislative action or funding was adopted in this sitting relating to the crash; the resolution is a formal expression of sympathy and commendation.
