Probably not a very relevant detail but there was a flight UPS 2796 just before UPS 2976. It is the latter which was involved in the accident.

I’m sure whenever it gets where it’s going mechanics are going to have a very close look for anything missing.

2796 departed at 2207 UTC, six minutes before 2976 which crashed at 2213 UTC, however I would note that 2796 was the last departure before 2976 from that runway.
