In the eastern part of Colombia, an air crash occurred. The plane of the airline "Aerosucre" crashed, as a result of which at least five people died. According to Latin American media, there were six people aboard the plane, one of whom managed to survive. He is in a critical condition, local doctors are fighting for his life. One more was initially missing. Sometime after the crash, it was reported that this man also died.
According to the latest data, we are talking about a Boeing-727 plane that operated a flight from the airport of Puerto Carreno to Bogota, the capital of the country. The flight was not passenger. According to some sources, it was a technical flight, according to others - the plane made a flight with special cargo on board.
The plane rolled out of the runway, literally tearing down the fence and almost hitting people who at that moment were on the road behind the airfield. However, according to eyewitnesses, the plane still managed to take to the air. A few seconds after that, the Boeing-727 began to "roll over" on its side and collapsed a few kilometers from the airfield.
The main causes of the crash are several, one of which is a possible overload.
