The plane, a King Air ANX 1209, was carrying eight people: four naval crew members and four civilians. So far, it has not been confirmed whether the civilians were patients or the age of the occupants.
It should be noted that, in the majority of medical transfers coordinated with the Michou and Mau Foundation, the beneficiaries are usually minors who require care in specialized hospitals in Texas, so it is possible that this transfer followed the same dynamic.
New balance: five dead and one missing
According to the Secretary of the Navy, of the eight occupants of the aircraft, two are alive, five died and one person remains unaccounted for, for whom search and rescue efforts by the authorities continue.
The Navy reported that it maintains coordination with the Consulate General of Mexico in Houston for the corresponding procedures and reiterated its condolences to the families of the victims.
The institution also reaffirmed its commitment to offering timely and reliable information through its official channels as there are updates on the case.
Rescue mobilization and humanitarian operations
Images and videos spread on social networks show the rapid intervention of emergency teams in the area, including boats and ambulances, while working to guarantee the safety of the occupants.
This accident adds to the humanitarian operations that the Navy carries out regularly and reflects the complexity and risks of air missions in emergency situations.
