An Aerosucre Colombia Boeing 727-200, registration HK-4544 performing a freight flight from Puerto Carreno to Bogota (Colombia) with 6 crew, did not become airborne while taking off from Puerto Carrena's runway 25 at 17:20L (23:20Z), broke through the airport perimeter fences, became airborne, lost height again about 3 minutes later, impacted ground about 5nm from the airport and burst into flames. Two persons were rescued alive, four persons died on scene, one of the initial survivors succumbed to the injuries in hospital.
Colombia's Civil Aviation Authority Aerocivil reported the aircraft crashed three minutes after takeoff from Puerto Carreno. 5 occupants were killed, one occupant survived correcting earlier reports of 4 fatalities and 1 survivor.

It's looks like the plane may have been too heavy and operating on a runway of only 6000 ft.
Here are some videos of the crash, the first two are almost unbelievable.
Hits fence on takeoff
Hits fence on takeoff from another angle
Impact after gaining some altitude

Too heavy from all the cocaine

My guess is the crew may have not calculated their takeoff performance correctly. Or forgot to use flaps on takeoff. Then again could also be a flight control issue but unlikely from what we know already. Must have been past V1 (last chance for rejected takeoff) before they realized the problem. In these situations it never ends well as recovery is nearly impossible. RIP compadres

I'm more impressed with how calm the guy shooting the video is. I would have lost my shite.

My guess is it was a load issue. It eventually made it to the air but couldn't keep altitude.

Those people on the ground are lucky no one became road kill.

If you watch the flaps are down on the number one side (might not be at right setting). Also as the plane goes past the camera you can see the number 2 engine flame out. Now could that be from engine picking up debris or was their engine problems from the start. Black boxes should say everything.

Why would it crash after becoming airborne?
Think it stalled? It didn't appear to take any damage to the wings and the engines are mounted high... perhaps debris got in the engines?
It almost looks like it is banking when it goes down

What did them in was attempting to turn around. At that point they lost lift and stalled.

Good call on the flameout.
you can get a good still frame at :29 on the second video

That is probably a very plausible reason for the crash or at least one of the reasons. I am in the airline industry and weight and balance is crucial for take off and landing.

Didnt know there were many 727s out there. Third world i guess

Is there a rule that everything filmed in South America has to be blurry and shaky?
Judging by that last video, that one survivor sure is a lucky SOB.

absolutely.
This is what caused the fate of the 747 cargo flying out of Afghanistan(?) a few years back that was caught on video. Unequal weight distribution(or something wasn't secured) and too much weight ended up on the back end.

They are used mostly for cargo. Normally when a commercial airline retires an aircraft a cargo company will buy the plane and convert it to a cargo plane. They can get 20 or so years of use out of it.

The cargo shifted. WWent to the tail of the plane. With the steep take off they have to make there was nothing the crew could have done.

Do Columbians just sit around and watch airplanes take off and land all day. Why are there so many people at the fence line watching this?
