Buenos Aires: At least 22 people were killed when a small passenger plane crashed in southern Argentina on late Wednesday, state-run television reported.
According to the state run television, the plane went missing in an isolated Patagonian region in southern Argentina. The plane was carrying 19 passengers and three crew members.
“We did not find anyone alive. There were no survivors. The plane is in multiple charred fragments. Everything is burnt and smashed to pieces,” said local hospital director Ismael Ali, who participated in the rescue mission.
The plane had earlier been reported missing on a flight between the southern cities of Neuquen and Comodoro Rivadavia, in Rio Negro province.
Horacio Farre, a spokesman for the private company Sol, which owned the plane, confirmed that there had been no survivors. The company said the plane crashed around 45 minutes after takeoff.
