Colombian Authorities Reveal New Details of Yeison Jiménez Plane Crash

Colombian authorities have revealed new details of the plane crash in which Colombian singer Yeison Jiménez died. Colonel Álvaro Bello, technical director of accident investigations for the Civil Aviation, stated that the plane in which singer Yeison Jiménez and his team died "did take off", contrary to previously known versions. However, in the investigation, they need to clarify what happened and the causes of the disaster. "At this moment, I cannot confirm it until I have factual evidence of what caused the aircraft to be unable to continue its climb and unable to make a greater displacement in its performance," he emphasized. They are currently collecting more data on what happened to determine the error or causes of the incident. "Based on the technical information and data collected so far, it is possible to confirm that there was indeed a displacement from the moment the aircraft took off. There was a turn in flight and subsequently a collision," he indicated. "So, at this moment, to correct the information that has been spread, yes, there was a displacement of the aircraft in the air before the impact," he added. Regarding the flight time, he said the aircraft flew for 3 to 5 minutes, covering a little less than "a mile relative to the runway or the runway threshold. It's relatively close." He also noted that the aircraft had all the necessary certificates to be able to fly.
