More than 100 people were killed after a Boeing 737 passenger plane crashed in Cuba on Friday. Three survivors were rescued. One of them succumbed to injuries while the other two continue to remain in a critical condition.
The aircraft, on a domestic flight to Holguin in eastern Cuba, crashed shortly after taking off from Havana at 11 a.m. (1500 GMT). There were either 104 or 105 passengers, including five children, plus nine crew members, various state media said.
The cause of the plane crash is still unclear. "During take-off (the plane) apparently suffered a problem and dived to the ground," the Mexican transport department said on its website.
