Plane Crashes Moments After Take-Off In Venezuela, Bursts Into Flames | Terrifying Video Captures The Chaos | World News

Authorities have confirmed that a light aircraft crashed during takeoff from Paramillo Airport in Venezuela’s Táchira state, killing both crew members on board. The twin-engine Piper PA-31T1 reportedly failed to gain altitude shortly after takeoff, stalled, and hit the runway before exploding in flames.

Emergency services responded immediately, but there were no survivors from the intense fire. The National Institute of Civil Aviation (INAC) confirmed the deaths and said the Civil Aviation Accident Investigation Association (JIAAC) had opened an investigation into the cause of the crash in accordance with national aviation protocols.

In the images shared on social media, the plane can be seen climbing for a short time, then losing control and crashing, sending thick clouds of black smoke into the sky. Initial reports suggested the tire may have burst during takeoff, but officials said the investigation was ongoing.

The plane had recently operated domestic flights across Venezuela and had also flown to Panama and Cuba, according to flight tracking site Flightradar24. Officials said that the identities of the victims will be announced after their families are notified.
