00:00Now that we have finished the work of the examinations and the work of cleaning,
00:10we can access the place that until a few hours ago we could not access.
00:14And look where we are standing, in this neighborhood called Aviation Neighborhood.
00:18Look, we feel...
00:21Look, the plane is going down, and look where it goes down.
00:24Look.
00:26This image gives us that feeling of proximity between the neighborhood
00:31and this international airport in San Fernando.
00:34Nothing has been modified. The airport is still operational, Diego, right?
00:37This is Terry Street.
00:40Of course, the airport only cut its operations during the day of the accident.
00:45Yesterday morning the tasks were resumed and today it is also operating normally.
00:51But let's walk around Facu.
00:53I wanted to show you this. This is Narcisa's house.
00:56This woman told us in detail how the family's drama took over
01:02when the plane hit this place.
01:06The plane was on this sidewalk.
01:10Look, the front of the plane was against this fence.
01:14Here you can see how the fence is a little tilted towards this place.
01:19But there was no fire here, that's why it looks like this.
01:22Now, if we go to Narcisa's house,
01:25here is the part of the body, the central part of the plane,
01:29which is on fire here.
01:31And look how the house looks.
01:33Look at the frames of the door, absolutely on fire.
01:37And they had to go back to escape from this place.
01:43Now Daniel is going to show you the upper floor.
01:45Notice that there is nothing here. Why?
01:48Because in these last hours they had to work on removing all these rubble
01:54because there was a risk of collapse, not because of the impact,
01:58but because of the fire that was taking each of the walls.
02:02And now we are going to see a tree,
02:05which was perhaps the one that held the plane so that it did not directly impact the house.
02:12This tree, you see it there, with the remains of having burned,
02:18but below you see the bark,
02:20as it has remained absolutely with the traces of the impact that the plane gave.
02:26That is, if this tree had not been there,
02:29very likely the plane would have hit the house of Narcisa, Facu.
02:36There it is. Yesterday, Diego, we stood out a lot.
02:40The attempt was made by Javi, the pilot, his last maneuver,
02:44to try to put the ship in the mouth of the street and give it more travel.
02:50Now you mark this tree.
02:54Every time I look, we look at the details,
02:57we find that this could have been an even greater tragedy, right?
03:02Yes, look, Facu, now we can finally walk in this area,
03:06because we did not know well what the route was.
03:10If you see it in the satellite image, how the track goes,
03:13you say, if the plane had gone straight, where would it have hit?
03:17We are going to try to discover that site.
03:20We would have to walk more or less 80 meters to get to that point.
03:26Here we will not be able to pass much more
03:28because there is a safety belt that the people of the municipality of San Fernando put on,
03:32who are working on cleaning.
03:34But this is a striking fact that we have to say now.
03:38Perhaps if the plane had gone straight,
03:42look, there Dani is going to show us,
03:44you see that there is like an orange structure there,
03:47that is the height of the continuation of the track.
03:51If the plane had gone that way,
03:54maybe it would have hit.
03:56Let's see, Dani, we show you the houses now.
03:59Look, let's turn with Dani.
04:03If it had gone straight,
04:05it would have hit one of those houses that you are seeing there.
04:10No, but there it would affect 4 or 5 houses,
04:14because first because of the speed, second because of the fire.
04:18Because when the plane crashes, the wings break,
04:23it catches fire, but the fuel spills,
04:26and then everything catches fire.
04:28It's like a spray.
04:30Of course.
04:32Yes, but look, Javi,
04:34when one says the pilot maneuvered to be able to go to the street mouth,
04:40in reality the other street mouth would have been closer to him.
04:45Pay attention to this, which caught our attention from the first moment.
04:49But there was a truck there.
04:52Do you know that there was a truck there?
04:54It's probable, yes, but it had...
04:56Of course, there was a truck, indeed,
04:59but the distance to the other street mouth is more than 80 meters.
05:04It's what we can only check today by walking around the place.
05:08Do you know why I'm telling you this?
05:10Because there was a truck there.
05:12In fact, the truck driver and his son,
05:14who were in that truck going to Charlene, where you are,
05:18luckily Terry was close,
05:20because his son warns him that a plane is coming over us.
05:24They turn with the truck for Terry,
05:27and the plane, a second and a half later,
05:29crashes against the corner.
05:32They were saved, but because they were fast in the reaction.
05:37In fact, when the plane passes the two wire fences,
05:40now they recovered one, they put it back,
05:43another tree is taken ahead.
05:46In the fence where the wire fence is, there was a tree,
05:49on the side of the street, let's say,
05:51and they put it back, and then the other one, right?
05:54Or is it the same one?
05:56Of course, look.
05:57Look, Javi, here is the wire fence that they have reconstituted.
06:00Yes.
06:01From this post.
06:02Exactly.
06:03All this sector is where the plane passes.
06:07We have a cloth, two, three, four, five, six cloths
06:12that they have reconstituted of wire fence,
06:14as you can see there,
06:15and now here we are going to turn a little to the left,
06:19and here is where the tree was,
06:21which you say is taken ahead
06:24before impacting that place.
06:28You see that some roots have remained,
06:30it is a smaller tree than the one that is there,
06:32at least in what is seen in that image at a distance,
06:35but this is the first tree that stops the impact.
06:39Because, let's see, let's think about this too.
06:42If one sees the route that the plane makes,
06:44look, we are going to put this image here.
06:47Dani, let's see if we give this straight image over there.
06:50If this tree had not cushioned,
06:56perhaps it would have impacted the plane
06:58against this house on the left,
07:00where these operators are.
07:02Yes.
07:03It is very likely that this would have happened.
07:07That's why.
07:08Let's see, the way it happened,
07:12the truth, unfortunately,
07:14the two crew members died, the pilot and the co-pilot,
07:17but it could have been worse.
07:19It could have been worse.
07:21And that is what is miraculous.
07:24A plane similar to this one that we are seeing there,
07:27driving, there, which is in that place,
07:31and that is now going to take off from there, right?
07:33Yes.
07:35That plane, yes, is about to take off.
07:37Now the runway is being used
07:39with the head inverted on the day of the tragedy.
07:41Of course.
07:42That is, they are,
07:44according to how the wind is coming,
07:46a head is used or another head.
07:48And that plane is now in the runway head,
07:51which that day was the end of the route,
07:54and not the beginning.
07:55Exactly.
07:56As it is, as it is.
07:58But, let's say, it's very close,
08:00it's 200 meters away, but it's very close.
08:02Let's see, let's see, Diego.
08:04Of course.
08:05Look, I want to show you something
08:07that can be really very interesting,
08:09which is this track that is here.
08:11Look, Dani is going to show it to you.
08:13And we are going to try to imagine the route,
08:16and we are going to put the camera
08:18from the other side, from the side of the wire.
08:20Now, Dani, if we can lower it to the camera
08:22to look over there and see
08:25how is the route that the plane made
08:27from the track.
08:28Look, there you can see
08:31how is the route that the plane made.
08:33There it goes, with the wing,
08:35it touches this tree
08:38and it continues to the house.
08:43Terrible, huh?
08:45Do you know what it must be?
08:47It's like a train, right?
08:49To see a plane coming at you,
08:51because first the sound alerts you,
08:54but at an airport,
08:56at an airport that is there,
08:58sometimes it doesn't attract so much attention
09:00until, of course, it comes at you.
09:02And at the speed it was coming,
09:04it doesn't give you time for practically anything.
09:07I mean, the truck,
09:09the two truck drivers were lucky
09:11that they got to the corner
09:13and turned left.
09:15Because I think that if they continued a little more,
09:17with one of the wings,
09:19the truck was going to hit it.
09:21And also the mark that the plane left,
09:23there you can see it,
09:25the mark that it left on its downwind
09:27until it hit the house.
09:29It's a...
09:31The truth is that it's a desperation
09:33in an impressive place.
09:35There comes the plane,
09:37as Diego said, right?
09:39Today the head of the runway is this sector.
09:41But it's tremendous,
09:43what has happened.
09:45Well, the family is living in a place
09:47that was given to them by the municipality of San Fernando.
09:49For now.
09:51I understand that there is also a...
09:53Look, let me...
09:55If I ask Diego to stop this image for a minute,
09:57the green bus,
09:59the green bus,
10:01because there is also
10:03a detail
10:05to take into account,
10:07that...
10:09There it is.
10:11This is a perfect image.
10:13This is a perfect image.
10:15Why did the green bus
10:17arrive first?
10:19Sorry, red and not green.
10:21Because...
10:23And here they are also investigating
10:25the operation
10:27of how the security protocol was activated
10:29and of a situation like this.
10:31And what they explained to me yesterday
10:33is that both the green one you are seeing there
10:35and the red one
10:37are practically parked
10:39in the same place.
10:41They have to travel about a thousand, a thousand and something meters.
10:43In the internal fire brigade
10:45that San Fernando has.
10:47At the airport.
10:49Of course.
10:51But the red one arrives first,
10:53which does not have the right elements
10:55to...
10:57For example, it does not have that white powder
10:59that we are seeing, which is the one that stops a fire.
11:01A fire
11:03of these characteristics, Diego,
11:05you don't stop it with water.
11:07So there they are
11:09trying to see
11:11why the red one arrived first
11:13and not the green one.
11:15And if there is no degree of negligence there...
11:17Yes, let's describe, Facu,
11:19a fact
11:21that surely
11:23the investigators will take into account
11:25at the time of investigating
11:27why an autobomb arrived first than the other.
11:29Inside the airport
11:31there are security systems designed
11:33to work inside the airport,
11:35but not outside.
11:37This happened outside the airport,
11:39the fire.
11:41So, if an autobomb
11:43has to move inside the airport,
11:45there is a double wire.
11:47Of course.
11:49There is a wire that separates
11:51the street from the building.
11:53And then you have a second wire
11:55that separates
11:57an internal street
11:59from the airport
12:01with the runway sector.
12:03Therefore, if an autobomb
12:05has to move inside the airport,
12:07one imagines that it has its route
12:09and its work areas.
12:11But how does that autobomb
12:13get out of the airport
12:15if there is a double perimeter wire?
12:19No, no, it's clear.
12:21It's clear.
12:23I don't know what's wrong with you, Diego,
12:25being there,
12:27but it still seems shocking to me
12:29that the airport
12:31continues to work,
12:33that there is such a precarious wire,
12:35that there is no minimum containment.
12:37Well,
12:39that still catches my attention.
12:41But if it's done like this,
12:43it's because it's the containment
12:45that the airport must have.
12:47It can't work like this,
12:49because international rules
12:51require it for international flights.
12:55I don't think it's out of the law.
12:57In fact, I haven't heard voices
12:59saying that it's...
13:03that it doesn't have
13:05the necessary security measures.
13:07I don't know.
13:09The issue of firefighters,
13:11well, that will be seen.
13:13There are security cameras.
13:15Everything will be seen.
13:17The time it took for the firefighters,
13:19the descent, where exactly
13:21the plane landed,
13:23so it's all within what the Accident Board
13:25is investigating.
13:27But Javi, you know there aren't that many cameras?
13:29No, but they are, you know where?
13:31In the control tower and on one of the sides,
13:33where they observe everything that is the runway.
13:35Yes, yes, but look,
13:37if we are standing here,
13:39in this place, which is where the plane landed,
13:41where they put the new wire,
13:43it means that it came out this way.
13:45If I stand here
13:47and start to turn 360 degrees
13:49and look for a camera
13:51from the airport,
13:53I will only find a dome over there.
