CARACAS (AFP) – Fifteen people were killed and 36 survived a plane crash in southeast Venezuela, according to the official toll released late Monday by the transport and communications ministry.
"In total we have 36 survivors and 15 dead. The survivors are being looked after," said Transport and Communications Minister Francisco Garces.
Most of the survivors had sustained burns and were traumatized by the event, but none were in life-threatening condition, he added.
The Conviasa airline plane had taken off from the resort city of Isla Margarita when it went down inexplicably about six miles (10 kilometers) from its destination of Puerto Ordaz.
