Part 7/9:

At this point, despite a sudden activation of the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), signaling an impending threat due to their proximity to the rising terrain, the crew made fateful choices. Believing that the GPWS warning indicated their course was wrong, the captain decided to redirect the aircraft right instead of climbing. Tragically, this maneuver would lead them straight towards La Esperanza mountain.

The aircraft, traveling at 260 knots, crashed halfway down a forested hillside, killing all 146 individuals on board. The wreckage dispersed across the landscape, illustrating the devastating impact of this tragic accident.
