Small Plane Carrying at Least 14 Missing Over BAJA
Small Plane Carrying at Least 14 Missing Over Northern Mexico
MEXICO CITY — A small plane carrying at least 14 people has gone missing in the northern Mexican state of Baja California, emergency services said on
Monday, and rough weather from Tropical Storm Octave was hampering search efforts.
The plane, which can seat 20 passengers, disappeared after setting off from Loreto International Airport on Monday morning headed for Ciudad
Constitucion, said the head of Baja California Sur emergency services, Carlos Enriquez.
The storm is currently about 85 miles southwest of Cabo San Lazaro on the Baja California peninsula, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Sorry to hear this.
Relatives in La Purisima reported it to us today.
Condolences to all who lost their lives and those who loved them.

I sure hope that there were no Nomads on board and in fact I hope that everyone on board is safe.

It didn't say anyone was dead yet; if there are survivors, they're in for a wet, cold night or two before search efforts can go looking. And yes, i
know how steep and rough the Comondus and Gigantes are... it'll be a miracle, but we can still hope.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

So so sad that they are lost in limbo. If it is the pilot I met that time we got stranded on Isla Cedros because we took off too late from Ensenada
and there are no airport lights in GNegro, he was a very experienced pilot. He has been flying since he was in his 20's and he is close to his
sixties, easily.
All our landings were great. I told him I qualify a good pilot by how smooth the landing is! Ours were very nice.

this article says that the El Debate article is false and absolutely nothing is known about the plane yet...today should bring more news as it's clear
enough to look for it.

Published on Monday 14 October 2013
(21:20) The weather conditions caused by tropical storm Octave have not allowed locate the aircraft that took off from the municipality of Loreto,
Baja California Sur, said the night of this Monday, the Secretary of Communications and Transport (SCT), in a statement.
The SCT explained that the single-engined Cessna light aircraft 208-B, registration XA-TXM, of the company Aeroservicio Guerrero, had conditions
"appropriate" in Loreto, to carry out air operations, just like in Ciudad Constitution, where it would make a scale.
"To fail to reach its destination is the active search protocol. In the aircraft carrying 13 passengers and the pilot", confirmed the Secretariat,
which "assists in the search plan".
(20:42) a private plane with 14 people on board disappeared on the morning of this Monday after takeoff in the municipality of Loreto, Baja
California Sur, official sources confirmed, according to EFE.
The aircraft, registration XA-TXM, departed shortly after 09:00 hours - local time- and contact was lost with her 25 minutes later, in accordance
with aviation authorities of the Secretariat of Communications of Baja California Sur.
According to the sources consulted, the appliance has disappeared from the radar and the cause is unknown, although it cannot be ruled out that he
might be the "bad weather" prevailing in the area.
The assistant director of Transport of the Secretariat of Communications and Transport of the federal government, Enrique Avalos, reported that the
aircraft belongs to the private company Aeroservicio Guerrero.
Avalos said that the aircraft had enough fuel for two hours of flight and his final destination was Los Mochis, Sinaloa state. Before he would make a
City scale in Constitution, about 147 kilometers south-west of Loreto.

They clarify: THEY HAVE NOT FOUND AIRSHIP(AIRPLANE)!
Published the October 14, 2013 | 24 comments
◾No there is not even visual contact
◾Mañana renudan the search
◾Se it adds also AIR CALAFIA
last 44lth hour La Paz, B.C.S. - The table of REPORTERS' writing(wording) WITHOUT BORDERS in the capital sudcaliforniana denies categorically that
there has found damaged the airship(airplane) Cessna Grand Air Caravan of the company Service Warrior, who has been brought(reported) like missing
person from today morning.
One is not also in conditions to inform that 14 occupants have died, as THE DEBATE has published it this night the Internet portal of the newspaper
sinaloense.
The information with which it is counted(told) to the moment (9:30 PM), which comes straight from the sources nearest to the brigades of rescue who
camp in the community of Green Water, to the south of Loreto, is that ITHAS NOT EVEN BEEN HAD NOT AT SIGHT TO THE AIRSHIP(AIRPLANE), for what
continues currently the MISSING PERSON status.
Therefore the luck of the airship(airplane) is not known to the moment and its occupants.
As we inform them with opportunity, tomorrow if the conditions of the climate allow it, airships(airplanes) of the Navy of Mexico will realize
sobrevuelos for the area, to guide to the brigades of infantry of the armed forces.
One adds to the previous thing the collaboration of the helicopter that there has facilitated the government of the state(condition) of Sinaloa and
that tomorrow early will come(turn) to the search area.
Also there adds an airship(airplane) the company AIR CALAFIA that tomorrow the same will do sobrevuelos in narrow coordination with the brigades of
search and rescue.
