		</div><p>A small plane assigned to the crew of a movie starring Tom Cruise has crashed in the Colombian Andes, killing two people and seriously injuring a third.</p>
<p>Cruise was not on board the aircraft, the Colombian civil aviation authority said.<br />
An American, Alan Purwin, was killed along with Colombian national Carlos Berl.</p>
<p>A third person aboard, US pilot Jimmy Lee Garland, was rushed to a hospital in Medellin, where he is in intensive care.</p>
<p>The twin-engine Aerostar ran into bad weather on Friday afternoon after taking off from the colonial town of Santa Fe de Antioquia for a short flight to Medellin. No emergency was reported to air traffic controllers.</p>
<p>Cruise, a trained pilot, arrived last month to Medellin to film a movie called Mena, about US pilot Barry Seal, a drug runner recruited by the CIA to try and capture the late cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar.</p>
<p>Seal was shot and killed in 1986 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, allegedly by assassins sent by Escobar’s Medellin cartel.</p>
<p>Cruise’s spokeswoman, Amanda Lundberg, made no comment.</p>
<p>Mr Purwin was founder and president of the Los Angeles-based Helinet Technologies, a company providing aerial surveillance technology to law enforcement.</p>
<p>On the company’s website, he’s described as “one of the top film pilots of his generation” with a list of credits from television and major Hollywood movies such as Transformers, ’Pearl Harbor and Pirates of the Caribbean.</p>
<p>In his last tweet sent Wednesday, Mr Purwin expressed joy at landing on a dirt runway between the mountains surrounding Santa Fe de Antioquia.</p>
