Plane crash update

According to the newspaper this morning, the plane that crashed at the Medellin airport was a Colombian military C-26 (see picture on prior blog post). It ran off the end of the runway and ended up in the ditch. All five crewmembers were unhurt. However, the airport was closed for the rest night while they recovered the airplane. We are still not sure if we landed before or immediately after the plane crash. Probably before, because we saw the firetrucks leaving the station when we were getting off our plane. Fortunately, we got home safe, sound, and on-time.
