Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) – A Colombian airliner with 152 people on board crashed in a mountainous region in western Venezuela. Venezuelan authorities said they found no survivors. The Medellin, Colombia-based West Caribbean Airways SA jet was en route to Martinique from Panama when it came down in the Sierra de Perija on the Venezuelan-Colombian border, Francisco Paz, who heads Venezuela’s civil aviation agency, told Union Radio. Venezuela’ air force flew over the site this morning and since have sent rescue crews, Interior Minister Jesse Chacon said on national television. The aircraft, a Boeing Co. MD-80, fell near Machiques, a town about 150 kilometers (90 miles) southwest of Maracaibo, Chacon said. ``We estimate that it crashed between 3:30 a.m. and 3:45 a.m.,‘’ Chacon said. The plane was a charter flight. The airplane radioed the ground authorities at 3:07 a.m. local time (3:07 a.m. in New York), saying it had problems with one of its engines, Paz said. Ten minutes later the plane reported problems with a second engine, Chacon said. West Caribbean was founded in December 1998, according to the airline’s Web site. The carrier flies two MD-81s, and one MD-82 as well as smaller craft.

Das why I don't wanna be a pilot. First you have to pay NZ$60,000 each year to become one then you have to dedicate your days and nights for people. Seriously you don't even get to eat home made food and life sort of sucks cause you don't have anytime for your self.
