A plane of the Aeroméxico company crashed on Tuesday afternoon in Durango, Mexico, with 101 people inside, as reported. Governor José R. Aispuro said in statements that no victims have been reported so far.

Evidence provided by one of the survivors reportedly revealed that the plane was unable to take off properly due to an air current, which caused the aircraft to continue to advance over land for a few kilometers and then end up in flames.

“The gentlemen and I came in Premier Class and that is why we were able to leave quickly. If people were leaving, it took about three or four minutes to start exploding, said the passenger, as reported by the online site of the newspaper El Universal.

The aircraft was ready to travel from Guadalupe Victoria International Airport to Mexico City. The mishap would have occurred around 4 pm (local time) and about an hour later, the arrival of the first wounded at a hospital in the area began to be recorded.
