This was a nocturnal flight, as reported at the time. It is assumed that the pilot put wrong
 coordinates in the  automatic pilot and  the plane followed  a completly different route, heading
  towards the Amazon Forest. This increased the flight time and as a result the planes fuel was
 running low. The pilot tried to look for (at night)  a clearing in a forest to land the  plane,
 he was almost successful. Of 46 passengers and  a crew  of 6, 14 died and 34 were injured. He
 still was extremely competent to land in very difficult conditions (at night in a compact
 forest).
