Colombia Plane Crash: Congressman Among 15 Dead Amid Skepticism and Speculation
A Satena commercial flight, HK-4709, crashed near the Colombian-Venezuelan border, resulting in the deaths of all 15 people on board, including a Colombian politician. The Beechcraft 1900 aircraft, en route from Cúcuta to Ocaña, lost contact with air traffic control shortly after departure and was later confirmed to have crashed. Search and rescue operations were initiated, and the airline has confirmed that there were no survivors. Satena is providing humanitarian assistance to the victims’ families while investigating the cause of the accident, which occurred in a mountainous region known for poor visibility and recent violence.
