Aerosucre Boeing 737-200 performed an emergency landing two minutes from take-off (Video)

An Aerosucre Boeing 737-200, registration HK-5192 performing a flight from Puerto Carreno to Bogota (Colombia), departed Puerto Carreno's runway 07 when one of the engines showed overheat indications and lost thrust. The crew continued takeoff, managed to climb just above treetops, electrical power lines and houses past the end of the runway outside the aerodrome, and returned to Puerto Carreno for a safe landing a couple of minutes later.

A video, that became viral, shows the aircraft a low height crossing just above the wires, treetops and roofs of houses about 250 meters/800 feet past the runway end. The trees immediately reacted to the aircraft's wake turbulence (however, no actual contact between aircraft and trees is visible) leading to claims the aircraft had hit the treetops, which dropped leaves as result.

Company pilots reported later, that one of the engines had overheated and power was lost from the engine, which climbed out at only 50% thrust available. The aircraft returned to Puerto Carreno for an emergency landing a few minutes later.
