Mexican Charter Flight Carrying COVID Vaccine Tourists Crashes en Route to Texas
A charter plane carrying five passengers to Texas with hopes of getting a Coronavirus vaccine crashed, killing all on board.
The crash took place this week just northwest of the Monterrey metropolitan area when Armando Gonzalez Abella was piloting his Piper airplane with tail number N15349 from the Aeropuerto Del Norte to Laredo, Texas. The pilot was returning to the airport after experiencing an unknown “technical difficulty” but crashed before being able to land, authorities revealed to Breitbart Texas.
Many residents in Nuevo Leon and other parts of Mexico are flying into the U.S. to circumvent the current travel restrictions which prohibit land travel through international ports of entry.
The flight was chartered by César Taméz García, Sol Alanís Compeán, Esaú Olmedo Peña, Rosa Peña Olmedo, and Brenda Guajardo Leal. Federal investigators in Mexico are looking into the crash.
While vaccines are readily available in the U.S., Mexico’s government has fallen behind in distribution, leaving the majority of the population unprotected. Currently, Mexico is one of the countries with the highest number of cases and fatalities.

Over 90 people found in possible human smuggling case, some with COVID-19 symptoms: Police
More than 90 people were found "huddled together" in a home in Houston in a possible case of human smuggling, the Houston Police Department said Friday.
No one was seriously injured, but Houston Police Assistant Chief Daryn Edwards said, "We are concerned that there may be some positive COVID cases inside the house."
Some people have fevers and some have lost their sense of smell and taste, Edwards said at a news conference.
The Houston police confirmed to ABC station KTRK late Friday that at least five people had tested positive for COVID-19.
The health department had sent workers to the scene to conduct rapid testing, Edwards said.
No children were inside. About five women were in the house and the rest were men, he said.
They told police they hadn't eaten in awhile, Edwards said, and they were brought food and water.
Houston police said they were made aware of a kidnapping call Thursday night, and authorities worked through the night to try to find the kidnapping victim's location. Authorities executed a search warrant at a two-story Houston house and determined this was a "human smuggling investigation," Edwards said.
