Dubai UPS Plane Crash Kills Two After Malfunctions

A Dubai plane crash involving a UPS cargo plane which reported technical difficulties has claimed the lives of two crew members.  Although there is no official cause of the Dubai Plane Crash, there is an investigation underway.


The crew initially reported fire and smoke in the cockpit.  The flight was instructed to return to Dubai, but didn't make it.  It disappeared from the radar, and then re-appeared at the crash site. 


The plane was diverted to an air force base.  The rough landing made the plane bounce, and then it crashed and burst in to flames. 


The two crew members died in the Dubai plane crash. 


If there is a positive in this story, it's that there were no casualties on the ground.  Initial reports said that the plane crushed some cars on a nearby highway, but those reports are not true.
