Louisville known as a ‘UPS town’published at 02:04 GMT<\/p>\n

Louisville, Kentucky is home to UPS Worldport, a global hub for the delivery firm’s air cargo operations and its largest package handling facility in the world.<\/p>\n

During the briefing, Metro councilwoman Betsy Ruhe noted that Louisville is a “UPS town”, and that every resident would know somebody who works for company. <\/p>\n

“They’re all texting their friends, their family, trying to make sure everyone is safe,” she said. <\/p>\n

State Senator Keturah Herron said similarly, adding that “many of us watch our family members and loved ones pass through [Louisville airport] on a regular basis”, and acknowledged how “jarring” the ongoing scene at the airport would be for residents. <\/p>\n

As we reported earlier, the airport has now closed their airfield<\/a>, as first responders continue trying to control the ongoing fire and secure the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Louisville known as a ‘UPS town’published at 02:04 GMT 02:04 GMT Louisville, Kentucky is home to UPS Worldport,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[18,117,19,17,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-163581","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
