Venezuela Plane Crash: A small aircraft burst into a massive inferno mere seconds after leaving the runway, claiming the lives of two on board in Venezuela. Eyewitness footage has since gone viral, wherein it showed the doomed flight's final moments: the Cheyenne-variant jet struggled to gain altitude, veered sharply to one side, and plummeted back to earth in a chaotic spiral.

The plane flipped violently, slamming down on its left wing before erupting in a blinding explosion of flames and debris that lit up the runway like a nightmare scene.

Reason of crash is yet to be disclosed

According to local media reports, the ill-fated flight was taking off from Paramillo Airport in Tachira when it crashed at the Paramillo Airfield in San Cristobal National Park.

Although the government has not released the victims’ names, local media outlet El Nacional identified them as Toni Bortone and Juan Maldonado.

Also, it reported that the aircraft’s tyre burst led the pilot to lose balance over the aircraft. However, an official confirmation from the investigators is yet to reveal the actual reason for the crash.

Similar incident reported last month

Earlier last month, a Learjet 55 crashed while attempting to land at Simón Bolívar International Airport, Venezuela’s busiest air hub, prompting a temporary closure.

According to the National Institute of Civil Aviation (INAC), the aircraft experienced an unspecified issue shortly after beginning its descent in MaiquetĂ­a, near Caracas.
