(CNN) -- One passenger was killed when an airplane crashed in bad weather and split into two when landing early Monday on the island of San Andres, Colombia, officials said.
The precise number of injured remained unclear Monday morning, but the national police said only six of at least 127 people aboard the plane were not hurt.
There were 131 people on-board the Aires airline 737-700 jet when it crashed around 1:50 a.m. (2:50 a.m. ET), the Colombian national police said. The flight had 121 adult passengers, four minors and six crew members, the police said.

Wow! It actually split the plane from the strike. I have never heard about this happening before. Does this mean that the lightening in our atmosphere is getting stronger? Is this possible? Our Earth is doing some very odd things as of late and it seems to be getting worse. Stronger storms and storms happening in areas that rarely get them. I was under the impression that when lightning hits a plan e that it goes around the skin then is shot out the tail end of the aircraft.
