A Brazilian-made
Embraer 190 plane operated by Aero Republica skidded off the wet runway
of Simon Bolivar airport in Santa Marta, Colombia and crashed into the
Caribbean Sea, injuring at least seven of the 54 people onboard the same
day that a Brazilian jet crashed into a gas station in Sao Paolo,
Brazil.
The Brazilian-made
Embraer 190 plane operated by Aero Republica was carrying 59 people from
Cali when it skidded along the wet tarmac and slid halfway into the
water while attempting to land at Simon Bolivar Airport.
