Aircraft Accident in Panama

An aircraft accident occurred in Panama on Tuesday. A Beechcraft King Air plane, en route from Marcos A. Gelabert Airport to Cartagena, Colombia, made an emergency landing at Tocumen International Airport. The aircraft's landing gear collapsed during the landing, causing it to skid and tilt. The two people on board were unharmed and rescued, with only material damage reported to the aircraft's structure. The incident was caused by a general electrical failure that led to critical problems with the landing gear. Firefighters from Panama's Fire Department and Tocumen S.A. are attending to the emergency.
