An old 35mm photo taken by me when I was 10, so its pretty bad but a rare shot. This horrible crash left 5 dead including the ex. CIA director of that time. This crash hit the news all over the world.

Hey Chris, thanks for your comment. This plane was not sabotaged, 20 seconds or less into the flight, the aircraft suffered a full engine out and it could not recover since it was on climb and the strong winds were not going to let it manouver correctly, I also believe the aircraft was overcrowded, another factor to the loss of this one. Since that day, LET were prohibited flying in Costa Rica but they come some times and even SANSA considered buying some. It just plunged down to the house, no sabotage and no cables hit. Hope this answers your comment!
Incredible pic taken at only ten years of age! I'm wondering if the plane hit the electrical wires or was it sabotage?
