Plane Crashes in Mountains

A plane crashed in a mountain area in Colombia. It happened on Wednesday. All 15 people on the plane died. The plane was flight NSE 8849. It flew from Cúcuta to Ocaña. It stopped talking to air control before landing. The plane was a Beechcraft 1900. It was found in a hard, far-away place. This made finding it very difficult.

The plane flew over a place with thick jungle. The land there is also hard to walk on. This place is near Venezuela. We do not know why it crashed. People are looking for the reason. Bad weather and the hard land made it tough for the army and helpers. They looked for the plane. Seven bodies were found.

Some important people were on the plane. This made the country very sad. A lawmaker was on board. Another man who wanted to be elected also died. The governor said he was very sorry. The President also sent his sad thoughts. He said, "I am very sorry for these deaths."

A group will help with finding the plane. They will also help the families. A phone line will help people. The airline said the plane had a "fatal accident."

The area is controlled by a group. This makes things harder. We do not know if they caused the crash. This is a sad reminder that flying can be risky.
