Breaking - MASSIVE plane crash on HAVANA, CUBA airport

well he did say "American" airliner - Boeing is an American company so he's not wrong. the Company that has the name on the plane is NOT american.

Cubana de Aviacion has mostly Russian jets.

All crash victims Rest in Peace.

I would put hijacking or violent criminal on the aircraft quite high up on my possibility list.

Darn, darn, darn ...

Anyone ever flown out of Havana before

How is security there?

All we know is it was an American flight. No other news from airport staff, departure time was roughly 12:10pm

Aside from two French ATR Cubana has only Russian aircraft.

Their planes are old. The maintenance??? meh

I would say the aircraft had a mechanical failure of some kind.

Update: Information from airport staff initially was that the plane was an American plane, I have now been told it was a private plane/rental plane.

WTF TODAY! Spewing Volcanoes, School Shootings and now a plane crash?!

Thanks

Take offs are most dangerous time

A RENTAL plane!?!??!?!

Still nothing on any of the radio news stations of this

Richard Quest says flight 972 crash on take off, birds?

Not sure where you're getting your shit infos, but they're actually operating A320 and 737s.

ZAT eez a veddy good kwestion

Twitter has mostly fake news. It is not an American flight.

It is a Cuban domestic flight.

Quote RT:

The plane reportedly crashed shortly after takeoff. It was bound for Holguin, a domestic flight of about one hour and 20 minutes.

The hard part for us is having to wait for the 'public' to 'know' what we've known for a very long time.
There is no bigger threat to 'them' than the public being awake and thinking for themselves.
Why are we here?
