A Colombian Air Force Cessna 421 carrying four senior army officers and three crew from Bogota to Apiay lost an engine about 20 minutes into the flight while cruising at 10,000 feet. The crew attempted an emergency landing and the aircraft crashed near Guasca, about 35 km northeast of Bogota, and was destroyed. Sources disagree on whether the fault was a single or double engine failure and on how many occupants were injured.
