Narrative:
The DC-2 was approaching San Luis Acatlán when the pilots saw that the grass strip was blocked due to the presence of cattle. The flight circled the airfield while the animals were removed from the runway. This caused a delay due to which the airplane had to takeoff in darkness, bound for Acapulco. On takeoff the airplane hit something. The airplane crashed and caught fire.
