00:00More videos of what was the air tragedy yesterday in San Fernando are being known.
00:10Here you can see the videos of the neighbors of how the plane first explodes.
00:15And next to it there was a car parked with gas that also ends up burning and exploding.
00:21That green truck, did you know the story?
00:24And that green truck that bends immediately after, in a matter of seconds, the plane enters the street,
00:34faces the plane on the street.
00:37The boy who was accompanying his father in a coal delivery, in that green truck, said,
00:42Dad, speed up, a plane is coming.
00:46And the father accelerated and left.
00:51He didn't want to know, he didn't want to go back to know what had happened.
00:54And you could see from a distance the fire of the plane there in San Fernando.
01:01It's not just the people who live in that house that was separated.
01:08The situation is very traumatic, people were very scared.
01:11Several are in a society of fomentation.
01:14The stories yesterday were heartbreaking.
01:17A woman who said, I grabbed my daughter and I had to go out through a wall
01:24because the plane was starting to burn.
01:27Paula Wilberge is in San Fernando.
01:29What else is being known, Paula?
01:33Let's see, key data.
01:34We have to wait for the results of the black box experiments,
01:37which was recovered yesterday around eleven thirty at night.
01:41Also another key thing to determine what happened,
01:45if the pilot or co-pilot had any health problems, the autopsy.
01:50The bodies were rescued before nine o'clock at night,
01:53which will also be fundamental for the investigation
01:57that is in charge of Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado.
02:00And from seven in the morning, the removal tasks.
02:04There is a crane that is already in place to start with the demolition of the house
02:09where the plane crashed, because the danger of collapse is extreme,
02:13it is imminent and it is a house that is all torn
02:17and that is in danger of falling and of course of altering the houses that are next to it.
02:23Although they are not in danger of collapse at the moment,
02:27the inhabitants were obviously evacuated and cannot return.
02:31Now, Paula.
02:32As we talk to the neighbors, they tell us how their relatives are,
02:37those who live and cannot return home.
02:40Paula, what is not clear is why,
02:43if the plane crashes more or less on the street,
02:48why is the risk of demolition?
02:50Because the house even had a fence in the front,
02:53it is because of the explosions, because of the fire,
02:55because in that case there are other houses next door that would also be in danger.
03:00There, of course, you can't see it from the place.
03:03Of course, there is precisely this truck of the airport security police.
03:08Let's see now, maybe we can see it from the aerial shot.
03:12Yes, the crash of the plane, when it invades the structure and also the fire,
03:18what it does is damage structures, foundations,
03:21and the cracks are really very compromising.
03:24That is why the danger of collapse is extreme
03:27and the tasks are going to start in minutes just to tear down the house directly.
03:32Do you have any idea how many neighbors are still housed
03:36in that foster society in which they had been taken yesterday,
03:39partly to contain them, partly out of doubt,
03:43or have they all returned to their homes?
03:45Yes, let's see, they could not return yet.
03:48There is the precinct, the airport security police personnel,
03:52the crisis committee, there has been a slogan throughout the night,
03:56people still cannot return to their homes.
03:59Let's hear...
04:00Many went at first...
04:02Yes, yes.
04:03Let's hear the story of the main victim,
04:07alive, the main victims are the dead,
04:10but the story of the owner of the house to which the plane hits
04:15and who was with his daughter there at that moment and how he escaped.
04:20A shocking testimony, we believe, Nahuel,
04:24because Melanie and her sister were both at home,
04:28they managed to get out by chance.
04:31And Melanie, look, is a few days away from being a mother,
04:37a few days away from being a mother.
04:40The plane hit them, what did you feel, what did you see there, Melanie?
04:44We thought we were going to die and the despair was very ugly,
04:48what hurts me the most is that I lost my daughter's things
04:51and it cost me so much to have them.
04:53With her, my despair was that she and my brother,
04:56that we were able to get the three of them out of there.
04:59If my brother didn't break the wall, we wouldn't get out.
05:02Tell me, what time was this?
05:04And it was almost one and a half.
05:06One and a half, what were you doing at that moment?
05:09We were sitting, my grandmother, him and her, I say, my brother and me,
05:13the four of us were laughing, not just, and we saw the plane coming in the background.
05:17How did you see the plane? Did you hear the noise? Did you look out the window?
05:20We heard the noise and we were in the courtyard, and the courtyard has bars,
05:24and we just saw through the bars that the plane was coming with everything and we started running.
05:27Did you see that the plane was coming towards your house, directly?
05:31It was coming from the tip, directly, and we started running to the bottom.
05:35And there it started, we didn't break the wall, we died inside with the plane.
05:39Did the plane come with the wheels on the street, on the floor,
05:46or was it trying to take off?
05:48It was trying to take off, just.
05:50And it grabbed, and there we saw that everything collided directly and we started running.
05:55I tell my brother, run, run, I tell him, grab the door and start breaking,
06:00and if I didn't break my brother, we wouldn't get out of there.
06:06Breaking a wall to escape, a heartbreaking story.
06:09What else is known about the pilots?
06:13These two pilots, employees of the Abrito family, were on a private trip,
06:18they were not working at that time for the family.
06:22They were experienced men, 46 years old.
06:25The main pilot, we are talking about Martín Loza,
06:29he had an extensive career within the commercial flights of Austral,
06:34until he started working privately when he was fired from the fleet of Austral.
06:41Of course, he has been working for many years,
06:44they recognize within what is the field of pilots that he is a very experienced person
06:50and his co-pilot, who could also be the main pilot,
06:54only that on this flight he had to be accompanied by Agustín Orforte, 35 years old.
07:01He, in addition to being one of the people who could be a pilot or co-pilot,
07:06depending on the trip they hired him,
07:08had been in the past an employee of Banco Macro, which is also from the Abrito family,
07:13so he has an extensive relationship and long-term knowledge
07:18also of everything that has to do with aviation.
07:21His father, Rolando, was also a pilot, but he died in an air tragedy.
07:26Look at the coincidences in 1998,
07:30where he lost his life in a crash between helicopters that were doing private flights too.
07:35There he loses his father's life at only 55 years old.
07:39He was very, very small, now he repeats, look at the story.
07:44Pilots who, I insist, were experienced.
07:47What was taken, in addition to everything that could be extracted from the aircraft,
07:51is a DVR that has the ability to capture the last conversations,
07:55for at least 30 minutes,
07:57which will be essential to understand what happened yesterday.
08:00Experienced people...
08:01Yes, because I don't know if those planes have or not what is called a black box.
08:05I deduce that they do.
08:06Yes, but you know what? They say no.
08:08It's a DVR, it's actually a little more modern.
08:11What it does is record the last 30 minutes of conversation
08:14with what is the control tower, where they could give details.
08:18Obviously it works like a black box, it has extreme protection against this fire.
08:23It is difficult for it to be damaged.
08:25It is essential to know what happened.
08:27Experts in aviation, what they marked by the images they could see,
08:31of course it is an opinion of someone who has knowledge,
08:34that the plane landed, but did not stop.
08:37What could have happened is that some braking system was broken.
08:43But hey, this of course is part of the investigation.
08:46It was an analysis of people with knowledge.
08:49The family of the pilots and the co-pilot,
08:52they said goodbye through their social networks.
08:55So did the wife of Agustín, this 35-year-old young man,
09:00who said goodbye through his social networks.
09:04You were amazing, love of my life.
09:06I have no words for this moment, but thank you.
09:09You made me the happiest person in the world.
09:11I love you forever, take care of me because you will always be with me.
09:16It was a tragedy, without a doubt, for the whole family.
09:19A mother who loses her son, a wife who lost her husband in 1998
09:26and had to raise him alone,
09:28also involving him in this profession that he was happy to carry on
09:33and that unfortunately ended up losing his life yesterday.
09:36We return to San Fernando with Paula Wilberger.
09:41What you see is still the trunk of the plane,
09:44there in the middle of the facade of the house, in the middle of the sidewalk,
09:49next to cars.
09:50The little we can see from here,
09:52obviously the place is filled with a precinct,
09:55with this truck of the Cruzada airport security police
09:59on the street, police presence, of course,
10:02because the tasks are still missing,
10:04the removal tasks begin, more inspections and so on.
10:07That is why the place is preserved.
10:09Obviously the houses are not inhabited.
10:11What is inhabited, from where the truck is,
10:16towards the suburbs, is not inhabited.
10:19The last house inhabited is right where the back of the truck is.
10:25Of course, there you can see...
10:27You were asking me...
10:28In the aerial shot you can clearly see what the neighbor says,
10:33she says, I saw it through the fence.
10:36That's why I say, I don't understand why the house is so affected,
10:40because the house that seems to be more affected is the other one,
10:43the one that has no fences.
10:45However, they are going to demolish it anyway.
10:47And the impact movement must have done harm,
10:50because they are also houses of precarious construction.
10:54It's a neighborhood that...
10:56You see, the plane enters, she says, I saw it through the fence,
11:00and that's where the plane is embedded.
11:02On the other hand, the house next door, which is precarious,
11:05is the one that had the front fire.
11:10I think it has to do with the impact of the movement.
11:13It is an aircraft that has the capacity to carry 12 people,
11:16it is an important carrier, it is not a plane, of course.
11:19It is an aircraft of great importance,
11:21that's why I understand that it can cause those damages.
11:25They are also precarious constructions,
11:27because in reality what first reached that area of San Fernando
11:30was the airport, and then the neighborhood around it grew.
11:34In fact, the airport is named after that neighborhood.
11:38That's why we also have to analyze the place,
11:41because today it is practically separated by a street.
11:44And we have to see if this is an urbanized area.
11:47Technically, if it is an urbanized area.
11:49If someone planned to install a neighborhood there,
11:52or as in so many areas of the urban area,
11:54a kind of village was built, which was later looted,
11:57and then it was urbanized,
12:00but it is not foreseen that someone would live there.
12:03The truth is that I do not know how that works.
12:06Paula, right away.
