Wrong calculation caused tragedy The Army reported that the commander of the Argentine plane that crashed in Torres, killing 11 people, adopted naval aviation procedures instead of being guided by Air Force rules. The pilot was flying at an altitude of 900 meters, half the recommended level for the location. (from Centro Documentação Jornal Zero Horas)
