10 Nukak Indians, the original inhabitants of the jungle area where the Cessna 206 plane crashed on May 1, accompanied the military forces. It is expected that up to 85 indigenous people "who have experience in the jungle, in the search for people who are lost, in their rescue," the director of the Victims Unit, Patricia Tobón, told EFE on Sunday.
The plane, from the private flight company Avianline Charter's, had already suffered an accident in the past, when it performed the function of an ambulance plane.
