CNN:

Large fireball seen at Havana airport following crash

From CNN’s Patrick Oppmann in Havana

A huge fireball was spotted after a Cubana airliner crashed during takeoff at Havana’s Jose Marti airport on Friday.

Reports also indicate that there is a thick plume of smoke visible around the airport.

Reports also coming from a source in the airport of firefighters trying to get the fire under control and a heavy police presence on the scene at the airport.

An aging fleet: In the last few weeks that Cubana de Avicion, Cuba’s national carrier, had to ground a number of their aging fleet because they said there were safety issues, though the cause of this crash is not known.

Ah, Cubana Airlines. Their maintenance routine likely involves duct tape and spray cheese.

Day of false Flags.

There have been 3 public shootings in the past 12 hours, 2 stopped, one successful.

Now the plane crash. They must know that IG report is going to be really bad.

Some 737’s are very old.

These are the cars they drive...

If they drive cars that were made in the 1950's, whatever planes they have are almost certainly hand-me-downs from some foreign airline.
