SANTIAGO, Chile — A Chilean air force plane with 21 people aboard, including a popular local television host, crashed Friday in the Juan Fernandez islands off the country’s Pacific coast, authorities said.
Juan Fernandez Mayor Leopoldo Gonzalez said the plane tried without success to land at the Juan Fernandez island airport, which is 515 miles from Chile’s coast.
Rescue boats were searching for the wreckage of the plane but so far had found only some equipment, the mayor said. Felipe Camiroaga, who worked for the state TV channel’s “Good Morning Everyone” program, was on the flight, Gonzalez said.
