4-magnitude earthquake caused significant damage and loss of life. Terminal damage at an airport stopped commercial flights, but smaller planes were able to carry humanitarian aid. Volunteer pilots quickly mobilized to deliver critical aid to affected communities.

The earthquake resulted in over 300 deaths and damaged major cities and isolated communities. Access problems were created far beyond one metropolitan area, which has a population of more than 700,000 people. Further details about the relief efforts and the impact of the earthquake are available from the source, including the role of organizations like Patrulla Aérea Civil Colombiana.
