Several US nationals, a French citizen and two children, were among those who were killed in a horror air disaster.
The aircraft was supposed to fly to La Ceiba airport, on the Honduran land, before the deadly collision.
The popular Honduran musician and politician Aurelio Martinez Suzo was tragically found among the dead.
The Jetstream aircraft, operated by the Avio -Company Honduran Lanks, carried 14 passengers and three crew members, said the Minister of Transport in the country.
Honduran national police have confirmed the death toll and said: “At this point there is only one body, because the rescue teams continue their work.”
This terrifying air disaster happened at 18:18, immediately after leaving her international airport Juan Manuel Gálvez.
Dramatic paintings showed a desperate rescue mission launched by the officials in the evening.
Heroic teams dragged the survivors from the water and to the island rocky coast.
Roatan’s fire captain Franklin Borjas revealed that the rescuers of unfavorable conditions have been facing the island.
Borjas said, “It’s hard to approach the accident (place) because there is 30 meters (98 feet) of a rock and you can’t get there while walking or swimming.
Pilot’s creepy message only a second before the plane broke into flames discovered while passengers forced their wings to escape from fire-
“Divers who help in rescue have zero visibility.”
The cause of the deadly collision was not immediately clear.
Honduran Xiomar Castro president revealed that an emergency committee was founded to have helped in the rescue mission.
She said, “They immediately arrived at the scene of a plane crash that took place 1 km from Roatán International Airport and helps tirelessly in an unfortunate incident.”
Roatan, the largest of the islands of the Gulf right along the Honduran coast, is a popular tourist attraction and known for its lively coral reefs.
The island, about 35 miles away from the mainland, is popular with divers.
