Radio Havana Cuba said on Twitter that the plane came down on the "highway" between Boyeros and Havana, near the airport.

Prensa Latina said Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who was sworn in last month, has rushed to the scene.

Hope there were no fatalities.

I suspect Amerika. Cuba should engage Mother Russia to help pinpoint the positions of all Amerikan drones & air patrols within 2,500km radius to the crash site.

The Malaysian MH-17 was blown out of the Ukranian airspace in similar fashion - by the CIA & the Ukranian SBU while the bastards tried blaming it on Mother Russia.

Lucasbalo - what do you think?

RIP to the lost souls.... May God comfort their love ones!

In a Matter of seconds everything could go sour.
Everything you've worked for.

They can all perish in seconds.

Anything can happen anytime.
Rip to the dead. May God Forgive them.

Bros, do you know energy possessed by an airplane already in flight is massive, When it crashes, it has to lose all that energy upon impact.

Assuming the fuel wasn't going to explode, the occupants are still going to have to loose the energy possessed by their inherent speed and mass. There's only little the human body can tolerate before fatal injuries occur.

Yet still, the fuselage is definitely going to fail and flying parts will kill them... If they are luck to survive that,

The fuel will explode to seal the death fate of the passengers.

it's literally impossible for any to survive a plane crash. Every lucky survivor of a plane crash is a miracle

Hope the plane wasn't destroyed?

Landing and take off remain the most dangerous times in flying.
