The crash off Roatán Island struck Honduras hard, claiming twelve lives, including Garifuna musician Aurelio Martínez, whose music carried his people’s voice worldwide. Two children, a French citizen, and a U.S. national were among the victims. Emergency crews battled wind and rain to recover bodies near the airport, while President Xiomara Castro mobilized hospitals to aid survivors and grieving families. On a once-joyful island, the shoreline is now filled with candles, tears, and the silence left by a beloved singer.
