Experts have begun to dismantle TACA flight 390 aircraft

Several technicians began to dismantle the Airbus A-320 from Taca Airlines that crashed one week ago today at the Toncontin Airport in Tegucigalpa.

The groups initiated by removing the most sophisticated parts from the aircraft with the purpose of saving them, since they are too onerous. The recuperation of the pieces is being done carefully so they are not damaged even more. The team of experts has kept on working even with the rains that have been falling in Tegucigalpa.

According to sources, the aircraft which was manufactured in France belongs to a company from the Philippines; Taca Airlines rented the aircraft from this company which is another reason why the investigations of the accident are taking longer.

In the unfortunate accident that happened on Friday may 30th, five people lost their lives, three of them where passengers on the flight and the other two where crushed by the aircraft while driving in their pick up truck.

Since then they have stopped landing any International flights and any domestic flights with more than 42 passengers due to the decision of the president Manuel Zelaya to open the Palmerola military air base as the new airport for the capital.

The determination of the president has caused for most business owners from the Toncontin Airport to worry since most passengers will not go to that terminal.

Since the tragic accident the adjacent streets to the where the wreck is have been closed in order to protect the aircraft
