This could be bad unfortunately. The pictures are horrific of the smoke and whats left of the plane. You can see the large tail so it was a big plane.

There were 97 passengers and four crew members aboard the Embraer 190 plane, Mexico's Secretary of Communications and Transportation Gerardo Ruiz Esparza wrote on Twitter.

Just read this on a Spanish newspaper, what a tragedy It went down 5 minutes after it took off so I wonder what happened. I really hope they will find survivors.

If you watch this short video and look at the very end where camera pans to other parts of the wreckage on the ground. Is that walking wounded walking towards the camera man?

I hope its walking wounded because that could be a sign of some survivors.

Yes that is the same clip that was in the news clip and that one is much clearer so thanks for sharing. At the very end that is either walking wounded or maybe just spectators coming to see if they can help.

They dont look like formal rescuers so I hope its walking wounded because that would mean survivors.

Gosh I hate the news when a plane accident occurs.

 

[gregjrichards]

Thankfully everyone must have followed advice to evacuate quickly and not tried to get their luggage or post on social media.

I was expecting numerous fatalities. Hope it stays this way.
