103 people survive plane crash in Mexico

First Published:

An Aeromexico flight carrying 103 people crashed just after it took off in Durango, Mexico on Tuesday.

Officials say all 103 people on board the plane survived the crash.

The governor of Durango said that the plane made it off the ground, but was hit by a gust of wind as it left the runway causing the plane to land abruptly on its left wing.

That forced the engines to catch on fire just a few hundred yards from takeoff.

Officials say 49 people were hospitalized along with the plane’s pilot, Captain Carlos Meyran who suffered the most serious injuries.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
