The Secretary of the Navy announced this Tuesday that he had found the lifeless person, missing after the accident of the plane which collapsed yesterday afternoon in Galveston, Texas. Of the eight passengers traveling on that plane, only two survived and are stable, although their identities are unknown. This flight supported the Michou and Mau foundation to carry out the transfer of a pediatric burn patient. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Mexican Consulate General in Houston provided assistance to the victims’ families.
The Navy plane that crashed Monday afternoon in the United States had lost communication with the control tower 10 minutes before the accident, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday during her morning press conference. “The plane had arrived in Galveston. They thought it had landed and then they learned that there had been an accident,” he detailed from the National Palace, where he indicated that an investigation was underway to clarify the causes of the accident.
The accident occurred while the Navy Secretariat aircraft was conducting a medical support mission. Sheinbaum sent his condolences to the families of the deceased, who included Mexican sailors. “What happened is very sad,” he stressed to journalists. The file is being monitored by Admiral Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles, Secretary of the Navy, with the support of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United States team.
Sheinbaum assured that the causes why the plane crashed a few minutes before landing are still unknown. The pilot attempted to land in the area in heavy fog, but stopped communication shortly before word was received that there had been an accident. The Mexican government has launched an investigation to find out what happened before the crash near Scholes International Airport, on the outskirts of the coastal city of Galveston, an hour south of Houston. “Until the black box is brought out and analyzed, we cannot know what caused the collapse,” the president warned. During this time, the relatives of the deceased benefit from the care of the Government.
The president reported that among the victims is the burned minor who was taken to hospital. He was accompanied by three other civilians and four Mexican navy crew members.
