The only two casualties were the pilot and copilot onboard, Jose Antonio Bortone Terife and Juan Maldonado. The crash happened on Wednesday morning, local time.
The plane crash is currently being investigated by the Junta Investigadora de Accidentes de Aviación Civil (JIAAC), as some reports claimed that the crash might have been caused by a tyre that burst during its takeoff.
Times of India reported that the pilot might have wanted to perform a stunt, which unfortunately led to the plane losing momentum and stalling at a very low altitude, based on an eyewitness saying “He wants to impress us“, shortly before the crash.
