Wake Turbulence


2008
An official Mexican Interior Ministry aircraft crashed in central Mexico City at around 18:45 local time on November 4, 2008. Mexican Secretary of the Interior Juan Camilo Mouriño,[4] who was aboard the plane, was killed in the crash, along with the other eight people on board and seven people on the ground.[5]
The plane crashed in rush-hour traffic close to the intersection of Paseo de la Reforma and the Anillo Periférico, in the Las Lomas residential and business district. It entered wake turbulence from following a Boeing 767 too close and plummeted to the ground below. Although the plane did recover, it did not have sufficient altitude and crashed into a building, exploding on impact.
