FOX News reports no deaths, per Governor of Mexican State where the plane took the off.
I think it only has wing tanks, not a center tank. In one of the pictures from the Mexican site, it appears that the right wing didn’t burn. I wonder if the the oxygen generators fueled the fire.
Crashed 5 minutes after impact says one report...If it never made it back to the airport, it’s probably a safe bet there are no doubt fatalities.
Does this mean Tom Hanks will be starring as the pilot?
If folks got put there okay, wonder if it was due to a well-trained captain and crew...If so, hats off to them! Reports are less than a couple of dozen sent to the hospital.
ER...Crashed 5 minutes after take off...
Now see the plane went down after it ran out of runway...
If this is the case, no fatalities would be possible. I read one report where it crashed 5 minutes after takeoff. That would be a very different outcome.
Bad weather aborted takeoff failure ran out of runway. No deaths and all passengers survived. Thank God no fatalities.
LMAO ,,,Oh your mean , sounds like something I’d do,,,,,,
Well that’s a good ending.
Good news.
Similar to the Air France jumbo jet in Toronto a few years go although that was a landing, not a takeoff. All survived that one as well (although it slid down the embankment.)
I know federal regulations are unpopular on FR, but they’ve done a lot to make planes safer. Now, if you survive the impact, you have a really good chance of surviving the crash. The fuel lines used to be under the floor, and the fires burned up into the cabin. Now they route them so that the flames burn off the top of the plane, given the passengers a few extra minutes to escape. And passenger planes built now for sale in the US have to have some system for suppressing fuel tank fires along the lines of the requirements for military planes - at least as long as the tank itself doesn’t rupture.
Prayers to the victims families...
Do not fly any third world airline. You are risking your life unnecessarily.
Cultures are different. Remember my words.
“Crashed 5 minutes after impact says one report.”
If that statement is true, the passengers had 5 minutes to evacuate the hull before the crash! Don’t fly third world airlines....
I laughed at it after I posted it. Btw #28/29 will help clarify for you.
Better than Mexicana early 90’s.
