Bogota, Colombia: Authorities have spotted from the air a Canadian-registered aircraft that went missing Saturday in northeast Colombia with two passengers on board.
Rescue workers are trying to reach the twin-engine Piper PA-31 Navajo but are being hampered by poor visibility at the crash site in the Andes mountains at an altitude of about 14,700 feet (4,500 meters).
Civil aviation authorities in a statement Monday said they didn't know whether the two passengers, earlier identified as a Canadian and Brazilian, were alive.
It's not clear what led to the crash. Newspaper El Tiempo said the plane and its crew were hired to perform an aerial survey to locate commercial minerals.
