00:00Let's enlarge what happened in San Fernando, at the airport.
00:03The security camera shows the moment in which the plane was coming at an incredible speed
00:11and from there a collision occurs against a house.
00:16It's not that it falls on a house as if it were a car, but of course,
00:19comparatively, the size is much larger and it crashes with that house, it burns.
00:24Look at it.
00:31We thought we were going to die and the despair was very ugly.
00:36What hurts me the most is that I lost my daughter's things and it was so hard for me to have them.
01:01Well, my despair was her and my brother.
01:04We were able to get the three of us out of there.
01:07If my brother didn't break the wall, we wouldn't get out.
01:10We were able to get the three of us out of there.
01:28I saved her from the house and grabbed her propeller.
01:31I held her hand and took her to the bottom.
01:34We started breaking the wall because otherwise she wouldn't grab it.
01:37She grabbed the propeller.
01:41Run!
01:50A disaster.
01:53I don't know what plane it is.
02:05The story of the survivors is tremendous.
02:07She almost grabs the propeller, says her daughter's mother.
02:10They had to break a wall to get out.
02:12Of course, it's not the same thing as a car or a truck crashing into a house or a plane.
02:17And especially at that speed.
02:19We are working with two mobile phones.
02:21There, at the San Fernando airport, we are seeing what it is now.
02:27Because the removal tasks are still going on.
02:30The area is sealed.
02:33The federal judge, Sandra Arroyo Salgado, is intervening.
02:38Let's get in touch with one of our mobile phones.
02:40Gabriel Perosperi, can you hear me?
02:44They are doing the peritages, Rolando.
02:47Notice that they have the mamelukes of the Argentine Federal Police.
02:51Judge Arroyo Salgado gave the order that it is precisely this force that carries out the peritages.
02:58The puzzle is broken.
03:01Notice that we have, in the foreground, the tip of the plane that is lying on the blue grid of one of the houses.
03:11The puzzle, in its middle part, caught fire completely.
03:16It was completely destroyed.
03:18And that part, set on fire, was the one that directly affected the houses of the neighbors.
03:25For example, Melanie's.
03:27We just heard it in the clip.
03:29She is 21 years old. She is about to be a mother.
03:31In a few days, she had to run out of the house when she saw the plane coming.
03:37Thanks to her brother's quick action, they broke a wall and were able to escape.
03:43With what they had set, they lost absolutely everything.
03:47How many houses are left affected, Gaby?
03:50Because we are really facing what could have been an even greater tragedy.
03:54How many houses are left affected?
03:56At least that one is virtually destroyed.
03:59And then we'll see who will pay for it.
04:01But how many houses are destroyed?
04:03Yes.
04:05Two houses affected.
04:07The one that is most affected is Melanie's, which I was just saying.
04:11But two houses affected.
04:13Luckily, the neighbors were able to observe that this uncontrolled fire was coming at them.
04:18And they were able to do the impossible.
04:20I repeat, they broke a wall to escape from their houses.
04:24With the fuselage on fire.
04:26Let's imagine, with the fuel fire, the plastic elements,
04:31the toxic smoke emanating from this place that invaded everything here.
04:38And that could be the most dangerous thing.
04:41What you have to take into account, Rolando.
04:43I believe that the issue is not only that a plane collides with you, but the speed at which it comes.
04:48The truth is that they saw it coming and had a reflex rate of miracles.
04:55It is estimated that it arrived here at about 180 kilometers per hour.
04:59Sure.
05:00For a car, it is an unusual speed.
05:02Let's imagine for a vehicle, an aircraft of this size,
05:06getting into a street that can hardly house two or three cars parked next to each other.
05:14I saw it.
05:15But I was telling you, they are doing the expertise.
05:18They have not yet removed the bodies.
05:20That is essential to determine precisely the causes of death.
05:24One of the hypotheses is that they could have died trapped and intoxicated.
05:29Gaby, in your story, Melanie, this afternoon, you were talking about a neighbor,
05:33a young woman who was with her baby, bathing him,
05:35and they were able to escape, like her and her family.
05:38Is it known if there are injured or more neighbors beyond these two affected houses?
05:45No, no, no. There are no serious injuries.
05:47Lu, there are no serious injuries.
05:49In fact, I spoke with Melanie a few minutes ago.
05:52She was in the hospital.
05:55They examined her, they examined the baby.
05:57Both are fine.
05:59What Melanie has is a crack in her left foot,
06:03as a result of having run as she could.
06:06And indeed, in that effort, she could have stepped badly at some point,
06:09she was swollen, but they simply told her to keep it,
06:13to exercise as much as possible, with ice, so that she recovers.
06:16Now, Gaby, it seems, looking at the aerial shot,
06:20that it seems that the pilot, in the last sections, before the crash,
06:25made some maneuver, as if to invoke the plane on the street.
06:29Yes, because if not, he could have crashed head-on against one of the houses,
06:32and it would have been even worse.
06:37Exactly, because, look, Rolando, here we are on Jose Terry Street,
06:42which is a street perpendicular to the airport,
06:45that is, it is not a street that goes parallel to the airport,
06:49or to the perimeter of the San Fernando airport.
06:52That is, with the plane out of control,
06:54and seeing that the pilots could not stop it,
06:56they decided to try to invoke the fuselage on the street,
07:00knowing that, obviously, the wings were going to impact
07:04both on the trees and on the cars.
07:06In fact, there is a car on fire,
07:08which was what most shocked the neighbors,
07:11because that car, with a gas tube, practically exploded immediately,
07:15and that really stunned the neighbors here in the area.
07:18Already the car, once it parked here,
07:20began to ignite and spread black smoke,
07:23but what the pilots obviously tried,
07:25at least from the track of what you were naming,
07:29is to try to put the fuselage on the street,
07:33beyond the impossible damage of containing the wings against the houses.
07:38Yes, there we did it with emphasis,
07:41in some way so that it is better understood,
07:43that before dying, the pilots tried, at least,
07:46not to crash it head-on against one of the houses.
07:49But let's go to another of our cell phones.
07:51There is Javier Moso. What do you see from there, Javier?
07:55Rolando, how are you? Good afternoon.
07:57We are on Charlin Street.
07:59This means that it is around where our colleague Gabriel Prosperi is.
08:03As you can see,
08:05this is where you can see the plane passing by.
08:08The plane absolutely breaks the wires,
08:11gets into that hole, breaks that hole that you see there in the distance.
08:15Until a few minutes ago,
08:17you could see the people of the Federal Police,
08:20who are doing the inspections,
08:21who are now in front of that San Fernando fire truck.
08:24Until a few minutes ago, even in this sector,
08:27Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado was there,
08:30who now entered the interior of what would be the airport,
08:34the international airport of San Fernando.
08:37An airport that has a runway of approximately 1,800 meters long.
08:411,800 meters long.
08:43With all the pilots I was talking to today,
08:46as a result of this fact, they tell me,
08:48it is a runway that, unfortunately, is running short
08:51for the number and the number of planes that are landing
08:55and taking off from this airport.
08:58Javi, look, what I don't understand is,
09:01the plane reaches the end of the runway
09:03and continues on its way, or at some point,
09:06the runway is parallel to the route of the street?
09:10Let's see, the plane, no, the plane continues,
09:14the runway is like, look where I'm looking,
09:18look at the houses.
09:19The tip of the runway, look at the houses.
09:22So it went on long?
09:23It's parallel, it's parallel,
09:25exactly, it's parallel to the 202.
09:27Of course, cross the wire.
09:29Let's see if it can move.
09:31Look, where you see that blue construction,
09:34the 202 passes.
09:36In fact, right now there is no traffic,
09:39but above that white car that you see,
09:41there is the 202 route,
09:44at this moment the traffic is cut off.
09:46See, a white car passes there,
09:48that is the provincial route 202.
09:50Now, Javi.
09:51Or the avenue 202, which ...
09:54Yes, exactly, exactly.
09:57Yes, I hear you, Lu.
09:58Javi, I don't know if you had the opportunity
09:59to talk to some neighbors,
10:00but today Melanie said
10:01that she had moved a month or so ago,
10:03there in the neighborhood,
10:04there in the town of San Fernando,
10:06that she was very afraid that something like this would happen.
10:09And I say, this was an airfield
10:11that was already a scenario of a similar situation
10:14in the year 2019.
10:172019, December 2019,
10:21a plane coming from Porto Alegre
10:23with passengers, a charter,
10:25a plane also of these characteristics,
10:28with passengers on board,
10:30runs out of fuel
10:32and tries to land in houses
10:34from here in the area.
10:35Look, it lands in the middle
10:38of what would be the route,
10:40about 200 ...
10:41Sorry, the runway,
10:42about 250, 300 meters,
10:45that it can't get to.
10:47It runs out of fuel
10:48and can't get to the runway.
10:50The runway, for you to get an idea,
10:52is here.
10:53I'm going to ask Nico and Lea
10:54if they can come closer.
10:56Look, those orange sticks
10:58that you see there,
10:59are the ILS antennas.
11:01Those ILS antennas are in charge
11:04of measuring what would be the approach
11:07and everything else that has to do
11:09with aeronautics.
11:11The plane, what it does,
11:13is obviously,
11:15because it comes exceeding in speed,
11:17exceeding in speed.
11:19There is an image,
11:20there is an image.
11:21If the runway, let's suppose,
11:23is 2,000 meters long,
11:26the plane makes a touch,
11:28that is, it makes the landing
11:30or tries to land,
11:32missing 500 meters,
11:33when in reality,
11:35that is because of the speed
11:37that comes,
11:38when in reality
11:39it should have done it
11:40several meters earlier,
11:42many meters earlier.
11:43And that's why Javier,
11:44and that's why he couldn't stop it.
11:45But Cachito,
11:46we'll be right back to you,
11:47but first, Javier Díaz,
11:49do you know
11:51at what speed it was coming?
11:53Yes, it is known
11:54at what speed it landed.
11:56And obviously,
11:57we are going to tell you
11:58what is the exact dimension
11:59of, in this case,
12:00the runway of San Fernando,
12:02this Challenger 300,
12:04which was at least,
12:05according to the last record,
12:07in perfect conditions.
12:08And we are going to tell you
12:09why you suspect
12:10that it could have been
12:11a human error.
12:12In a few minutes,
12:13the details
12:14and also the document.
