    From Avherald. RIP

    A Central American Airways LET L-410, registration HR-AUQ performing flight CAI-731 from San Pedro Sula to Tegucigalpa (Honduras) with 14 people on board, impacted trees near the village of Cerro de Hula located near the approach path of the VOR/DME runway 02 approach to Tegucigalpa's International Airport while on approach to Tegucigalpa around 07:30L (13:30Z). All occupants perished in the crash.

    Residents near the crash site who came to help reported poor visibility due to fog in the area.

    Honduran Authorities released a list of 14 people on board, all 14 are confirmed to have died in the crash.

    On Oct 21st 1989 a TAN Boeing 727-200 registration N88705, flight from Managua (Nicaragua) to Tegucigalpa had crashed in nearly the same spot when they flew a VOR/DME approach to then runway 01 but began the descent too early and impacted the mountains around Cerra de Hula at a height of 4800 feet 4.8nm before the threshold of runway 01.

        What about the Ford Pinto?
