A twin-engine aircraft (registration YV-1443) crashed just after take-off from Paramillo Airport in Táchira, Venezuela, around 9:52 a.m., killing both pilots onboard. The small plane briefly lifted off the runway but stalled at low altitude and slammed back down before erupting into flames.
Preliminary reports suggest a possible tyre explosion during take-off may have caused the sudden loss of control. Emergency crews arrived quickly, but the impact and fire left no chance of survival. The tragedy is now under investigation by Venezuelan aviation authorities, who are examining maintenance records and possible mechanical failures.
The crash was captured on video, shocking viewers worldwide and prompting renewed concerns over flight safety and aircraft conditions in the region. The nation mourns the loss of the two pilots as officials seek to uncover what led to the devastating accident.
