The plane went down near the Maria Reiche airfield in the city of Nazca....

The head of the Nazca police, Cmdr Edgar Espinoza, told journalists that the plane apparently caught fire after hitting the ground.

Aero Santos, the tour company that owns the plane, said the craft carried five tourists, a pilot and a co-pilot.

The Nazca Lines, one of Peru’s most popular tourist attractions...

The protected 400-square-kilometer (250-square-mile) region, which lies some 450km south of the capital, Lima, between the towns of Nazca and Palpa, is often viewed by tourists from the sky to get the best view of the huge ancient figures.

They’ll worry more about damaging the lines than the dead

They can bring in a motor grader to fix any lines damaged.

What I want to know is:

Is the "The feline Nazca line, dated to between 200BC and 100BC..."

REAL? Or is it a HOAX?
Could be a thousand year old hoax.
If a very old hoax, then is the hoax real? Eh?

I think twice before getting into a domestic aircraft that does tours.

I damn sure wouldn’t step foot in one in Central or South America.
