Aires Jet Carrying 131 Passengers Crashes

1 passenger was killed in the crash. I'll add more information about this crash as it develops over on my aviation news website.

Amplify’d from nycaviation.com

The aircraft, which was carrying 121 passengers and six crew, left Eldorado Airport in Bogota about two hours before the crash happened at the airport in San Andres. It attempted to land during a heavy storm, and was presumably struck by lightning upon landing.

Airport officials said one adult female passenger had been killed, while 114 others were injured. Their injuries ranged from minor to serious injuries.
