Can we try and stick to the very little information we have? ... UPS are reporting:
Atlanta, September 03, 2010
A UPS cargo plane has been involved in an accident in Dubai.
At approximately 12 p.m. EST, UPS Flight 6 from Dubai, UAE, to Cologne, DE, a 747-400 with two crewmembers on board crashed on takeoff. At this time, we have not confirmed any casualties.
Given that until recently I worked for a very similar and just as large company, I'm fairly certain that UPS know which flight phase this unfortunate incident occurred...
