#BREAKING: A passenger jet has reportedly crashed in Havana, Cuba, an airport worker told the AP. http://bos.gl/YqGyCf7 pic.twitter.com/LEJ3ZJCmZO
Cuban media say a Boeing 737 operated by state airline Cubana has crashed on takeoff from Jose Marti International Airport in Havana with 104 passengers on board. There was no immediate word on casualties.http://bos.gl/TPMTqKc
The plane was rented by Cubana, which has taken many of its aging planes out of service in recent months due to mechanical problems.http://bos.gl/j3qrhFc
The plane lay in a farm field and appeared heavily damaged and burnt, with firefighters spraying water on its smoldering remains.http://bos.gl/xV3kiL2
Residents of the rural area said they had seen some survivors of the plane crash in Havana being taken away in ambulances.http://bos.gl/a6Nlert
A military officer who declined to provide his name to reporters said that there appeared to have been only three survivors in critical condition, but other officials declined to confirm that figure.http://bos.gl/PVMCGpB

The airline is notorious among Cubans for its frequent delays and cancellations, which Cubana blames on a lack of parts and airplanes due to the US trade embargo on the island.http://bos.gl/DsNni2U
