However, a piece of the tail rotor was thrown into the settlement and landed on a sidewalk.
Colombian President Petro has ordered an investigation into the cause of the crash and National Army personnel have been reported to be on the scene. The Colombia Air Force flies 49 of the UH-1s. However, the Colombia National Army Aviation branch also flies this TMS. If the tail number is incorrect in the reporting, then this crash may have came from an Army helicopter squadron.
