I was on the airport here at Bogota (Colombia) early yesterday morning and saw HK-4544 depart for somewhere .... not imaging (i te least) what would happen to her later during the day ....
From what I can understand of what´s being said within the above videos .... it looks like the aircraft lost a wheel, or part of it´s landing gear, as it charged through through the airport perimeter fenceline and across the road .... and after managing to become airbourne, and prior to actually "GOING IN/PRANGING", it was also apparently dumping fuel too.
THE KNOWN FACTS SO FAR ....
An Aerosucre Colombia Boeing 727-200, registration HK-4544 performing a freight flight from Puerto Carreno to Bogota (Colombia) with 5 crew, did not become airborne while taking off from Puerto Carrena's runway 25 at about 17:10L (23:10Z), broke through the airport perimeter fences, became airborne, lost height again, impacted ground about 5nm from the airport and burst into flames. Two persons were rescued alive, three persons died on scene, one of the initial survivors succumbed to the injuries in hospital.
