A plane crashed in the Venezuelan Andes just after takeoff and all 46 people on board were killed, authorities said on Friday. Search team officials said they spotted the wreckage from a helicopter flying over high-altitude, steep mountainsides, adding that the aircraft appeared to be completely destroyed.
The twin-engined plane crashed just a few miles (kilometres) from the mountain city of Merida, notoriously difficult for pilots to navigate around, after taking off from there for the capital of Caracas on Thursday evening.
