Argentine Plane Crash in Patagonia Kills All 22 on Board

A twin-engine airplane operated by Argentina’s Sol Lineas Aereas SA crashed in the Patagonian province of Rio Negro last night, killing all 22 people aboard, the company said.

Sol flight 5428 was flying from the city of Neuquen to Comodoro Rivadavia when the pilot reported an emergency at 8:50 p.m. local time, Sol said in an e-mailed statement. That was the last communication between the airplane and controllers. Nineteen passengers, including one child, and three crew members were on board.
