At a well-known vacation destination, one person died as a result of an emergency jet landing on a Mexican beach. The aircraft was owned by a Canadian skydiving company.
According to the state civil defense agency, a tiny plane made an emergency landing on Bacocho beach in the Pacific surfing resort of Puerto Escondido, Mexico on Sunday, killing a 62-year-old man.
The victim's spouse was not hurt when they were together on the beach.
The aircraft was a Cessna Caravan, according to Fox News.
“To the family of the person who died, we will provide all the necessary support and accompany them in the face of their irreparable loss,” State Governor Salomon Jara wrote in a post on social media platform X, adding that resources were being mobilized to help those onboard the plane.
Footage from Puerto Global showed the damaged aircraft on the beach having crashed into what it said was a turtle rescue center.
While stating that investigations were still underway, the civil defense statement withheld more information about the landing and the identities of individuals involved. It reported that no one else was hurt on the beach.
Four Canadian skydivers, ages 35 to 60, a 40-year-old, and a Mexican guy were among those on board the plane. All of them were evacuated from the aircraft and given medical attention, according to the statement, which also stated that their conditions were stable.
The pilot and the lone passenger of a light aircraft survived last week's crash landing on a residential street in a suburban community on Phoenix's western fringe.
Shortly after taking off from neighboring Glendale Airport, the single-engine aircraft developed technical issues, according to the authorities.
The pilot had to bring the aircraft down on the Goodyear roadway after attempting an emergency landing at Phoenix Goodyear Airport due to an engine outage.
The parked automobile, a mailbox, and a tree were all impacted by the Cessna 172P. No one was injured in the plane or on the ground, but the empty car only sustained minor damage, according to the police.
An inquiry into the disaster was launched by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Early in February, another tiny plane crashed in Pennsylvania, this time killing the pilot and leaving just the passenger. It was unclear right away if anyone had been hurt.
Shortly after taking off from the adjacent Chester County Airport in Coatesville, the aircraft went down.
The incident is being looked at, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
An engine failure in February of last year caused a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza V35 to fall into a mobile home in Bayside Waters, Florida, resulting in another catastrophic disaster.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that two individuals on the ground as well as the pilot perished.
