SUMMARY- LaMia Flight 2933 was just minutes away from its destination at Medellín International Airport. One of the crew members, his voice reflecting growing concern, sends an urgent message to air traffic controllers at the Colombian airport. "Miss, Lima-Mike-India 2933 it's in failure, uh, total... electrical and fuel [failure]." Less than 30 seconds later, the crew was back in touch with a frantic call for directions to line up for the approach to the runway. The Colombian Civil Aviation Authority could not confirm the authenticity of the recording, which offers new details of the final moments of the Monday crash of the aircraft that killed 71 people. It was played Wednesday on Colombian media; it's not known how much more was recorded. Two sources familiar with the investigation who heard the recording confirmed the crew's reported electric failure and lack of fuel. Avianca Airlines co-pilot Juan Sebastian Upegui said he was listening to the radio as he watched the jet pass to the side of his plane "going downwards, fast as s---t," according to the recording.
ANALYSIS/SYNTHESIS- Before reading this article I had read about the horrific plane crash through social media and the news. The death of 71 were counted and that is so awful and not even know the cause of the actual crash. This incident reminds me of 9/11 although it was not a terrorist attack it is still a major crash. This was written on December 1st so it is up to date and current to the situation right now. The audio is a tragic reminder of the incident and hopefully will help bring closure to the families affected.
This is so sad, and they really should figure out the situations with planes.
