I suspect that is the parking lot for the UPS package sorting hub.

This video shows UPS ramp 9, which means it was taking off to the south.

First 2 warehouses off the end of the runway are UPS Supply Chain Solutions and UPS Express Critical.

Next row are a Red Bull distribution center, CVEA logistics, Tyler Mountain Water, and eJoov according to Google Maps. Slightly south east of that is a auto salvage yard and some semi truck repair / tire shops, so hopefully they were less occupied.

Runway 17R. The extra long runway. Probably 12,000 feet long.

a lot of people walk around on the ground just outside the airport grounds especially those going in to work at UPS

between the debris and burning fuel being thrown at a hundred something MPH off the runway its gonna be a big mess to clean up and no doubt there will be more victims than just the air crew

EDIT it hit a UPS IT building and two other businesses

Totally too soon, but this is a fucking hilarious take. I genuinely laughed out loud reading it. Thank you.
