A couple on the Latam airline plane that collided with a fire truck in Lima, Peru, survived the crash. They took photos and posted them on social media to celebrate. However, they received criticism from some of their followers.
According to the newspaper El Sol de Puebla, the accident occurred when the plane taking off from flight LA2213 collided with a fire truck on the runway at Jorge Chávez International Airport on November 18.
After the collision, the right wing of the transport vehicle with more than 100 passengers started to catch fire. While no one was injured in the accident, two firefighters in the vehicle lost their lives.
The surviving couple shared a photo of them covered in what appeared to be fire retardant foam near the crash site.
“When life gives you a second chance,” wrote the man, identified as Enrique Varsi-Rospigliosi.
After the videos showing the exact moment of the accident and a photo of a couple began to circulate on social networks, there were differences of opinion among users. Many claimed it was not the time to take a “selfie” when two people were just dead.
One Twitter user wrote, “Isn’t it a little inappropriate to post selfies of a tragedy in which people died?” said.
On the other hand, some netizens added that the couple’s intentions were not bad and that it was a way to thank their family members after the incident by letting them know they were okay.
One of the comments supporting the couple was “Good luck, enjoy the life God gave us”.
