Plane Crashes in Colombia and Mexico Kill at Least 32

A twin-engine plane crashed Sunday on a farm and burst into flames shortly after taking off south of the capital, killing at least 13 people, authorities said. Seven injured passengers were pulled from the charred wreckage of the Curtis C-46, and one died later at a hospital. One of the aircraft's engines apparently caught fire in flight. However, authorities said they were just beginning to investigate the crash outside Villavicencio, a state capital 45 miles from Bogota. Twenty people were thought to have been on board. One was unaccounted for and may be in the wreckage, police said.

A twin-engine passenger plane crashed on a domestic flight from the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, killing all 19 people aboard, authorities said Sunday. AeroCaribe flight 7831, carrying 17 passengers and two crew members, crashed Saturday night after it left the Chiapas state capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez on a short flight to Villahermosa, capital of the neighboring Gulf coast state of Tabasco. The dead include four children, 13 adults, and two pilots.
