A total of 34 bodies have been recovered from a Colombian military plane crash in the Amazon region bordering Peru, South America.

So far, 77 people have been rescued and admitted to hospital, many of whom are in critical condition. Efforts are underway to rescue the rest. Authorities said that the Lockheed Martin Hercules C-130 model plane crashed shortly after takeoff. It also caught fire.
