People onboard another Blue Wing flight have seen the crash site from above, and are convinced no-one survived the crash. Airline officials would not confirm this, as the site could not be reached yet.
The six passengers of the ill-fated flight are said to be local people. The Antonov went down some 10 minutes after departing Godo Olo, about 5km NE of Poketi. People were in grief, especially the families of pilot Peter Veldkamp and copilot Nerita Lachman-Singh.
Bad weather prevailed at the time of the accident, and prevented rescue teams to reach the accident site. French Guyana has been asked for assistance. Authorities stressed no passenger names would be released before double-checking correctness of the data.
This is the second fatal accident of Blue Wing in two years, 19 people died in the April 2008 crash of another Antonov.

Re: Aircraft Blue Wing crashed in East-Suriname
Advocate General Roy Baynath-Panday who is in charge of the inquiry of the deadly crash with another Bluw Wing aircraft at Lawa Antoni ( near Benzdorp ) in the south-eastern part of Suriname, on the 3rd of April 2008 says that the official report of the commission who investigates that deadly crash is not yet official ready; Baynath-Panday states that in that report there are serious questions about the state of the Antonov aircrafts Bluw Wing uses for there operations.
According to unconfirmed rumors, the dead of chief inspector John Viera, who recently was killed ( shot execution style ) on the balcony of his home in Commewijne, had to do with the overall state of the Blue Wing fleet, especially the state of the Antonov Blue Wing is flying with.
According to Blue Wing CEO Amichand Jhauw, the company will continue there operations today from the base at Zorg & Hoop ( SMZO ).
Eyewitnesses from the village of Puketi ( at the banks of the Tapanahonyriver ) tell what they have seen : We heard an approaching aircraft and hurried to the airstrip to welcome them.
We thought that Ronnie was coming ( Ronnie Brunswijk – former guerrilla fighter and now national assembly representative ) . But strangely it was flying to high to land at Puketi says Mena Pentoe ( a local living at Puketi ). “Suddenly the aircraft took a steep dive with the nose pointed down – we ran into our house and covered the children under our bed. And within 5 seconds………BOEM………and a complete silence. The aircraft must have exploded before it hit the ground !
Another witness named Tikio Adeni Velanti, tells his storey : . “I saw that one of the propellers of the aircraft was one fire. Shortly after I told other villagers that the engine seemed to be on fire our local village chief came to tell us that the aircraft went down.
Meanwhile rescue operations have begun.
A team from the National Coordination Centre for Disaster Control ( NCCR ) has arrived on the scene of the accident; this with the help of the neighbouring French Gendarme ( Military ) who was the First to arrive at the scene. Together with locals the bodies of the 8 who died in the crash have been transported already through the dense jungle across the Tapanahonyriver.
The bodies have already arrived at SMZO located in the heart of the neighborhood of Zorg & Hope, a suburb of Paramaribo, the capitol of Suriname.

It was the third incident in 2 years time ( 2nd deadly crash ) with this type of aircraft.
"Due to the circumstances we have no other options than to ground the remaining Antonov aircrafts untill the cause of all 3 crashes are clear" says CASAS chief Vivian Hanenberg.
