From Wikipedia
On 4 November 2008, a Learjet 45 carrying Mexican Secretary of the Interior Juan Camilo Mouriño, crashed into rushhour traffic in central Mexico City at around 18:45 local time. The crash resulted in the deaths of 16 people, all nine people on board and seven people on the ground. The investigation found that the pilots inadvertently entered the wake left behind by a Mexicana Boeing 767 ahead of them and did not control their descent on approach, causing the accident. Faked type certifications and credentials also contributed to the pilots being unable to deal with the situation.
