Argentine Aviators Union of Air Lines said that the investigation into the Rio Negro crash will take 3 months.
After departing from Neuquén at 20:08, the pilot sent out a distress call declaring an emergency. 19 passengers and 3 crew were aboard.
Locals saw a ball of fire fall from the sky 35 kilometers from the town of Los Menucos in an area not available to cell phone usage. Rescue units (three ambulances and civil defense team including the police force of Black River (Rio Negro), Sierra Colorado, General Roca and Los Menucos) were deployed but there were no survivors.
Saab officials will be participating in the investigation. But three months till the investigation is done? I don’t think so. Maybe three years.
