I don't know if anybody can actually read the original news reports (rather than the google translations) but I'm curious about the emergency call. Did they actually mean that they wanted an emergency landing at Macea - as implied - or was it simply a Mayday call that got mistranslated? It's hard to think that something so serious that caused them to crash 5km from departure would have prompted them to continue to Macea - another 100km?
