Plane crash survivor from Brazil recounts final moments

RIO DE JANEIRO — A survivor of a plane crash in Colombia that killed 71 people says the pilot did not tell passengers to fasten their seatbelts right before the aircraft smashed into a hillside.

Brazilian radio journalist Rafael Henzel spoke with Fantastico television program Sunday night from Colombia, where he is recovering.

Henzel says that passengers had no idea what was going on.

In his words, “We just kept flying without any idea of what was about to happen.”
