The twin-engine
Piper PA-60 went down in the mountains of San Pedro de los
Milagros, in the northwestern province of Antioquia province,
killing U.S. pilot Alan David Purwin and Colombian Carlos Berl.
A third passenger, Jimmy Lee Garland, was injured and taken to
hospital in the city of Medellin. Cruise was not on board the
flight.
The actor was in Colombia filming "Mena," directed by Doug
Liman. The movie tells the story of Barry Seal, a U.S. pilot who
worked for Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, then turned
informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
