At least 13 people were killed when a tourist aircraft crashed during a sightseeing flight over Peru's world-famous Nazca Lines. The small plane went down shortly after takeoff near the city of Nazca, with all passengers and crew on board losing their lives. The aircraft was carrying tourists eager to view the UNESCO World Heritage geoglyphs from the air. Emergency teams rushed to the crash site, but there were no survivors. Peruvian authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the tragedy, examining weather conditions, aircraft maintenance records, and possible mechanical or operational failures.
