Update (Sunday):

The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily grounded all McDonnell Douglas MD-11 air freighters this weekend after  UPS flight 2976 crashed last Tuesday in Louisville, killing at least 14 people. 

The emergency directive was issued after FAA investigators found the air freighter's left engine and pylon detached during takeoff.
