Since the appearance of the planes, many planes have been crashed, often with severe consequences due to the unforgiving nature of the air, where the air is relatively unnecessary, and it carries a largely active mass dynamically through technological means, but a serious incident occurred to a plane before taking off in Peru.
The Chilean “Latam” airplanes group revealed that a plane belonging to it collided with a firefighter on the runway while taking off from the airport in Lima, the capital of Peru, on Friday, killing two firefighters.
The Peru Ministry of Health reported that 20 passengers are receiving treatment and that at least two are in serious condition.
The ministry added that 61 people were taken to clinics and hospitals close to Khorkhi Chavez International Airport.
It was not clear whether this was due to injuries or a precaution.
President Pedro Castillo offered his condolences to my families, the firefighters in a statement on Twitter, saying that he is praying for the healing of the injured.
It was not clear why the firefighting vehicle entered the runway while the plane takes off, and the prosecution office said it was investigating the accident.
This is the second incident in less than a month of “Latam” airline, after one of its planes was damaged during a severe storm that forced it to make an emergency landing.
The company’s branch in Peru stated that it devotes all its resources to care for the affected people, and cooperates with the authorities to support the investigation.
A video clip on social media showed the plane colliding with the firefighting vehicle while it was deviating from the runway, then the fire was quickly burning and smoke was emitted before it stopped..
