Military Plane With 110 Soldiers On Board Crashes In Columbia

Last edited Tue Mar 24, 2026, 09:51 AM - Edit history (1)

I have to say the photo of the crash looks pretty bad.

I am going to withhold my opinions until the official statement comes out about their destination and purpose for being in Columbia.

I guess we probably have bases in every country?

The soldiers and plane were Columbian, not US soldiers.

We have to work too damn hard to get information, following multiple links. It's annoying.

Columbia is the English spelling of places in the US or Canada (and I guess elsewhere in the English speaking world). But the country is always spelled Colombia
