Mexican state security chief is among the five dead in helicopter crash
The Mexican National Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the news of the state of emergency.
“The head of the Mexican air force, General Carlos Alberto Montes, has resigned over the crash,” the agency said.
The Civil Aviation Authority said the helicopter had taken off from Mazatlán.
The helicopter had earlier reported a technical malfunction. A rescue operation was launched by local fire department officials.
Witnesses said the helicopter was climbing when the crash occurred. A fire was reported after it came down, causing a huge fire.
Another body was recovered several hours later, which was not identified. The cause of the crash is expected to be further investigated.
The state of emergency had been declared for seven locations in the area, the Civil Aviation Authority said. (AGENCIA)

The Mexican government should apologize to the people that he was not a part of the corruption, his government has been in charge of the corruption. You won’t find him in any corruption committee, he is actually out of the corruption process.
