The Presidency assured that the Colombian president was not at risk at any time.
The FAC-0002 plane was transporting Petro and his entourage to Popayán, but “could not land in that city due to heavy rains and the visibility of the runway.”
In the middle of its diversion to Cali, lightning struck the plane, “which is why the aircraft was subjected to review,” indicated the Presidency, which also requested “a report from the Colombian Air Force (FAC) to find out details of possible affectations”.
Gustavo Petro was going to Popayán to attend to the emergency caused by a landslide on the Pan-American Highway, the main highway in southwestern Colombia, which devastated homes in the rural area of La Soledad and caused approximately 700 homeless people.
