At least one person was killed and 120 injured Monday when a plane crash-landed after being struck by lightning at an airport on the Colombian island of San Andres, aviation officials said. Ronald Tascon, director of Colombia's civil aviation authority, said some 120 people on the Aires airline flight carrying 131 people were hurt in the accident, five of them seriously.
Authorities said the Boeing 737-700 plane was struck by lightning upon its descent toward Gustavo Rojas Pinilla airport on the popular resort island.
