Private Plane Crashes in Colombia, Killing Singer Yeison Jiménez and Five Others

A devastating private plane crash occurred on Saturday in central-eastern Colombia, resulting in the loss of all six people on board. Colombian singer Yeision Jiménez, 34, was among the victims.

According to reports, the aircraft, registered as N325FA, crashed in the Paipa and Duitama area in the department of Boyacá, where it was headed to Medellín. The plane's pilot, Captain Hernando Torres, also perished in the accident along with five passengers: Juan Manuel Rodríguez, Óscar Marín, Jefferson Osorio, Weisman Mora.

Witnesses describe chaotic scenes at the time of the incident, with videos showing the plane taking off and then experiencing difficulties on the runway. However, authorities have not released any information regarding the circumstances leading up to the crash.

Transportation Minister Fernanda Rojas has confirmed that investigations are underway to determine the cause of the accident, with the Technical Directorate for Accident Investigation activated to collect evidence.

The Boyacá governor's office has declared a period of mourning in the department following the tragic loss of life. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks involved in private air travel and underscores the importance of robust safety measures to prevent such accidents from occurring.

This is just heartbreaking news... Yeision Jiménez was an incredibly talented singer , I've been listening to her music since she was a teenager. It's so unfair that she's gone now . My thoughts are with her family and loved ones who must be going through this unimaginable pain .

You know what really gets me is the fact that these private planes often fly under the radar , there's no real oversight or regulation in place to ensure safety standards are met. It's crazy that we're still seeing these kinds of accidents happening despite being aware of the risks . I hope the investigation into this crash is thorough and provides some answers for everyone involved...

My heart goes out to Yeision Jiménez's family & friends she was so talented & beautiful inside & out rest in peace, I'm sending all my love & positive vibes to Colombia it's such a shame that this happened but let's focus on the safety of everyone flying we need more robust measures in place to prevent accidents like this from happening again

Just heard about this devastating private plane crash in Colombia... Six people lost their lives, including that talented singer Yeision Jiménez . It's just so senseless! I mean, can't you even get a flight without it ending in tragedy? The fact that the authorities are still investigating and haven't released any info on what happened is super frustrating . And to think there were witnesses who saw all this go down... But hey, at least they're taking steps to figure out what went wrong and make sure something like this never happens again . A period of mourning in the Boyacá department is a good idea, but it's not enough... we need more action on safety measures for private planes . Can't believe another life was lost over a preventable accident .

[Uptight Unicorn]

just heard about this awful plane crash in Colombia ... 6 people lost their lives, including that talented singer Yeision Jiménez . It's like, you're up in the air, thinking everything is gonna be alright, and then BAM! Next thing you know, it's all over . The safety measures are there, but sometimes accidents still happen... guess we just have to accept that risk and hope they do learn from this .

 

[Ultimat]

just saw this news about the private plane crash in Colombia it's so sad to hear that Yeision Jiménez and 5 others lost their lives the thought of all those people on board, with no warning signs or chance of survival... it's just heartbreaking. I know investigations are underway but I hope they get to the bottom of what happened as a responsible adult, I always think about safety first when flying (no matter how short the trip) because you never know what could happen in an instant

omg, another celeb bites the dust what's wrong with these rich people and their love for flying? like, isn't it enough that they're already making bank or something? do they really need to go out with a bang...literally? anyway, RIP yeision jiménez i guess we'll have to listen to more of her music now

 

[Smiling Scarab]

this is so sad colombia lost another gem yeision jiménez was super talented and 5 others lives were cut short it's a huge loss for music fans everywhere

the thing that gets me is the lack of info about what happened before the crash was there a warning sign? were they airworthy? so many questions but i guess we'll just have to wait for the investigation results hopefully it's something that can prevent other accidents in the future

anyway, my heart goes out to yeision's family and friends they must be going through an impossible time

 

[Cloudy Caiman]

Ugh, just got that news and it's like, so sad . Six people lost their lives, including a talented singer... Yeision Jiménez was supposed to perform at this huge event in Medellín. You feel for her family, right? Anyway, I'm thinking, how did this happen?! Was there any warning sign or something? It's crazy how these private planes just aren't as safe as commercial ones. They gotta make sure those safety measures are on point, you know? Safety should be the #1 priority, especially when people are flying around

 

[Better Buffalo]

just saw this news about the plane crash in Colombia that killed singer Yeison Jiménez and 5 others... how reliable are those eyewitness videos, tbh? they're shaky at best and could be easily edited or fabricated. shouldn't we wait for official autopsy results and maintenance records before jumping to conclusions about what went wrong?

 

[Motionless Malla]

Just heard about this tragedy and my heart goes out to Yeison Jiménez's family and loved ones . I mean, you never see these kinds of stories on TV, but it's always a shock when they do happen. It's crazy how one wrong move on the runway can lead to such devastating consequences . I feel like we're all just one minute away from disaster in this world. And now, more than ever, let's appreciate those pilots who work so hard to keep us safe .

 

[Distu]

just heard about this plane crash in Colombia ... can't believe singer Yeision Jiménez was among those who lost their lives . it's so sad when you think about all the people on that plane, hoping for a safe journey to Medellín . the more I read about it, the more I feel like how unpredictable life can be ... one minute you're soaring high, the next minute tragedy strikes . safety measures are super important, we gotta make sure air travel is as secure as possible . my thoughts are with Yeision Jiménez's family and friends

 

[Sonic's Karate Safari]

just heard about this plane crash in Colombia and it's so sad yeision jiménez was an amazing singer i hope her family is okay this accident is a total reminder of how unpredictable air travel can be hopefully the investigation finds out what went wrong and we can learn from it at least the authorities are taking it seriously it's a good thing there were no survivors to add to the tragic toll

 

[Jea]

omg what a horrible thing, cant believe 6 ppl lost their lives, especially someone like Yeison Jiménez who was so talented i wonder if they checked the plane properly before takin off? and why didnt they release any info on whats goin on?! seems suspicious to me but idk, maybe its just my paranoia anyway its a tragedy & im thinkin of all the ppl affected by this lets hope they find out what happened & take action 2 prevent sumthin like dis from happenin again

 

[Frantic Fox]

just saw this on socials... can't believe Yeision Jiménez was on that plane those roads in Boyacá are already notorious for accidents... it's so sad that he won't get to perform again and what about the passengers who were traveling with him? poor families going through this hope they're getting the support they need

 

[Better Bug]

Just saw this news about that private plane crash in Colombia . So sad, Yeison Jiménez was an awesome singer! The thing is, I know how expensive private planes can be, but isn't it crazy that the pilot didn't get any kind of training on emergency situations? Like, what if there's a problem during takeoff or landing? Shouldn't they have some backup plan in place? It's like, we're all guilty of taking risks when we fly, but at least commercial planes have to follow strict safety protocols. Private planes seem more like luxury cars up in the air ️. Guess this is a reminder that even with fancy planes, safety always comes first

 

[Hurt Hamerkop]

man this is so sad, Yeison Jiménez was like my favorite singer I used to watch her music vids all the time and now she's gone? five others too? it's just not right. I feel bad for their families & loved ones who are gonna be left with no one has anyone ever had an experience with a private plane flight or is this something that happens rarely? we should always take safety precautions seriously when flying, especially in areas like Colombia where accidents can happen easily it's not just about the person on board but also their loved ones who are gonna be affected by this loss

 

[Annoyed Addax]

man this is so sad Yeision was an amazing singer, i loved her music . it's crazy how quickly her life could be cut short like that, you know? . the thing that gets me is why they didn't release any info on what happened before the crash, it feels kinda suspicious . but at the same time, we gotta let the authorities do their job and figure out what went wrong . the worst part is how many lives were lost, that's just devastating . my heart goes out to her family and friends .

 

[Inexpensive I]

Ugh, just heard about that private plane crash in Colombia . Can you even imagine being on a plane with someone who's going to become famous for dying in a tragic accident? Poor Yeision Jiménez, 34, was an artist and singer, her life was cut short . I mean, I get it, accidents happen, but still... five other people lost their lives too . It's like, can't we just have a safe flight for once?! The authorities are already investigating, so fingers crossed they figure out what went wrong . It's always those little things that can make all the difference in preventing such tragedies .
