There has been a plane accident in the Belen Rosales sector in Colombia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bogota, Colombia: <\/b><\/p>\n

A small plane carrying eight people crashed into a residential area of Colombia’s second-largest city Medellin on Monday, killing all on board, airport authorities said.<\/p>\n

The aircraft took off from the Olaya Herrera airport in the morning and reported an engine failure before crashing into a house, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air.<\/p>\n

The airport’s Twitter account reported that the eight people in the plane — six passengers and two crew — had been reported as “fatalities.”<\/p>\n

There was no indication if anyone had been injured or killed in the house.<\/p>\n

“There has been a plane accident in the Belen Rosales sector. The full capacity of government has been activated to assist the victims,” Mayor Daniel Quintero wrote on Twitter earlier.<\/p>\n

He said the plane was a twin-engine Piper heading from Medellin to the municipality of Pizarro in the neighboring department of Choco.<\/p>\n

The plane “signaled engine failure on takeoff and did not manage to return to the Olaya Herrera airport,” one of two in Medellin.<\/p>\n

The aircraft crashed into a house, destroying its upper floors, according to images shared by the emergency services. Firefighters were working to douse flames amid scattered tiles and collapsed brick walls.<\/p>\n

Medellin lies in a narrow valley, surrounded by the Andes mountains.<\/p>\n

In 2016, a plane carrying Brazil’s Chapecoense football team ran out of fuel and crashed in the mountains near the city, killing 71 of the 77 people on board, including 16 players.<\/p>\n
