    HAVANA, CUBA —

    A Boeing 737 crashed shortly after takeoff from Jose Marti International Airport in Havana, Cuba.

    It is believed the passenger plane crashed near a high school campus on the east side of the island, WPLG reports.

    The Associated Press reports that 104 passengers were on board plus flight crew. The domestic flight was headed to Holguin and crashed at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time, according to state TV reports.

    The plane was rented by Cubana Airlines, WPLG reports.

    There were no immediate word on casualties, the AP reported.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    Source: Cuba: 110 died in plane crash, 3 survivors 'critical'


    The only three survivors of Cuba's worst aviation disaster in three decades were clinging to life Saturday, a day after their passenger jet crashed in a fireball in Havana's rural outskirts with 113 people on board.

    In the first official death toll provided by authorities, Transportation Minister Adel Yzquierdo Rodriguez said 110 had died including five children. He also announced that a flight recorder from the plane had been located.

    Carlos Alberto Martinez, director of Havana's Calixto Garcia Hospital where the survivors were being treated, said doctors are always hopeful that their patients will recover, but he acknowledged that the three Cuban women were in extremely grave condition.
