Eyewitness video has emerged of the wreckage of a plane that crashed in northeastern Colombia on Wednesday (January 28) and killed 15 people, including a local lawmaker, state-run airline Satena said.
The Beechcraft 1900 twin-engined turboprop plane took off before noon from Cucuta, on the border with Venezuela, for a short flight to the town of Ocana, Satena said.
Air traffic control lost contact with the plane 12 minutes into the flight, the carrier added. Satena did not say what caused the crash and said the plane's emergency beacon had not been activated.
