Ownership History of HK-4262

A Lineas Aereas Suramericanas LAS cargo flight (Bogota-Quito route) developed an engine issue en route and returned to El Dorado airport.

Engine issue? I’d say so. Parts fell off in a residential area in Fontibon, San Jose, Bogotá Colombia. Two people (one struck, one burned) and ten homes were affected. Twenty-one year old Aceneth Roldán was struck in the neck.

Neighborhood residents said the falling pieces sounded like falling glass as it struck their tile roofing. Aeronáutica Civil is doing a survey of the residents to assess the damage, which is minor.

Pieces apparently came from one engine of the Boeing 727.
