Shocking video footage shows a small plane speeding low over the ground before slamming into an industrial park in Mexico, killing a popular TV host and her flight instructor during what was supposed to be an exciting flying lesson.
The crash happened Saturday in Garcia, a city in the northeastern state of Nuevo Leon. Mexican TV host Debora Estrella, 43, and pilot Bryan Leonado Ballesteros Argueta died on impact, reports say. Estrella, a beloved presenter on Teledario Matutino, had just shared her thrill about the lesson on social media.
Moments before the tragedy, Estrella posted an Instagram photo from Apodaca’s Aeropuerto Internacional del Norte. “Guess what?” she wrote in Spanish, hinting at her first flying adventure with a snap of the aircraft.
