The CASA 212 plane went down in the Pacific Ocean after two unsuccessful attempts to land on one of the Juan Fernandez islands. The plane encountered inclement weather when it was trying to make its landing.
As of Saturday, the bodies of two women and two men from the plane had been recovered, AP reported. Some of the plane’s wreckage had also been found.
Camiroaga, who was 44, and four members of his TV crew perished in the accident. They were going to the island to produce a TV report on the restoration of the islands a year after a tragic earthquake and tsunami, according to AP.
In an interesting side note, the AP story noted that the Juan Fernandez archipelago is believed to have inspored the class book “Robinson Crusoe.”
