Accident

Injury Map of TANS Peru Flight 204

Flight 204, carried out in a Boeing 737, left Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport at 2:24 p.m. for a 53-minute flight to Pucallpa. At 14:52, the crew began the descent to the Pucallpa airport.

At that time, the weather conditions began to worsen, preventing a visual approach from being made. Conditions continued to worsen, however the pilots continued with the maneuver. Suddenly the plane entered a heavy hailstorm that caused the pilots to lose situational awareness and fail to abort the maneuver.

The plane finally crashed and split in two in the middle of the jungle at 15:09, just 5 kilometers from the airport.

40 of the people on the plane died. On board the aircraft were 73 Peruvians, 11 Americans, 4 Italians, 2 Brazilians, 1 Colombian, 1 Spanish and 1 Australian.

In television

Flight 204 has been the subject of a Reader's Digest story and an MSNBC documentary.[3][4] The Canadian TV series, Air Crash Investigation, has also produced an episode about the accident named "Lack of Vision".[5]
