A fishermen who witnessed the crash said he avoided being struck by the plane as it feel into the sea.

“The divers helping with the rescue have zero visibility.”

Honduran President Xiomara Castro issued a statement saying she has rapidly put an Emergency Operations Committee into action, uniting different agencies.
