“A fireball”
The witnesses attended the scene, especially John Johnson, who was at the airport with his family at the time of the events.
“We all greet the pilots and they all greeted us in return. The plane then made a 180 degree turn to cope with their take -off, placed the engine and left on the track,” the traveler told the AP news agency.
“It came out and, about three or four seconds after takeoff, it began to bow strongly to the left, then, a few seconds later, turned more or less and crashed on the ground the first,” he said.
According to the images transmitted on social networks, the plane was seen in flames, which escaped from a thick black cloud. Witnesses evoke “a fireball.”
