Aeromexico has tweeted that one of their planes had an accident near Durango on the afternoon of July 31. The Durango State Governor Jose R. Aispuro also confirmed the accident at Guadalupe Victoria Airport. The governor said that there was no official number on how many people have been injured. There were more than 100 passengers board, according Channel 10’s Zujey Luna. Luna later reported that a nearby hospital is braced to receive 80 injury victims.

Well, in a couple of those pics there is still some fuselage left.  Let's hope some people got out.

Is it too soon to speculate? I have absolutely no supporting information but I'm going with runway overshoot on landing or engine problems on takeoff.

You know the stuff they make the black box out of? The Mexicans made the whole plane out of that stuff.

[staboner 4959]

seems like the pilot and crew did a bitching job to get that plane on the ground somewhat in one piece

All the Piolin bumper stickers added to the structural integrity.

What if everyone on the plane...was a ghost?  /mnight

Meh. Knew it wasn't a huge deal when I googled up the newsgirl assigned to the story. They save the real hotties for the fiery stuff.

No, but lots of borrachos.  Cushioned the impact and survived.

[RPM 26236]

The live chickens flying in the cabin helped cushion the passengers.

[burntorangebongos 10681]

I hope they are okay but somehow, I first thought this happened is Durango CO. I feel bad that I"m glad it didn't. But good luck folks on this flight in Mexico!

[HenryJames 65897]

When a Mexican airliner crashes, do the passengers come flying out like candy?

[Whitman 694]

It must have hit a new wall.  A yuge wall.  

[Js1 85143]

I’ve flown them. The slightest turbulence rattled everything an ungodly amount. But at least they serve tequila shots on a 12am flight

Took Aeromexico to Cancun for the honeymoon almost 26 years ago, so this hits close to home.  Plane didn't crash, but marriage did.  Womp womp.

Early thoughts from the hive mind seem to be either a microburst at ~V1, poorly-managed engine loss at ~V1, or both. Reported weather at the time was pretty rough. Then again who knows it’s early.

 

Doesn’t look like it ever ‘got up’ to go down...which probably is what saved their lives if it was some freak unrecoverable weather event or poor decision to go for it.

 

 

Though that wasn’t a 767 like this video, a bit of rain and crosswind isn’t a problem if you’re in a rush Russian.

No fatalities from the crash, but now they have to survive the rest of the day in Mexico.

Yeah I had some hair raising flights on Cebu Pacific during my time in the Phils but nothing quite like that

[HenryJames 65897]

A passenger filmed part of it.

KAM air. Fucking plane had duct tape everywhere and those pilots gave zero fucks about bad weather.

Doesn't look like they got off the ground? Also, remind me to never fly in Tegucigalpa or any other airport with a cliff during a rain storm.

Took an AeroMexico flight to Cancun after HS graduation 20 years ago, so this hits close to home.  

 

There were about 40 graduates (from all over DFW, not a big group I was with) and we drank them out of their free beer once we hit international waters.  All the Modelo, Corona, Sol, and whatever else was free was gone mid flight.  Sitting in the outdoor customs area in 98* humid sun wasn't very fun 

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

More like GroundoMexico y’all

[DaysOff 7854]

Looks like a classic microburst up the tailpipe. Never really got airborne.

A Mexican standoff between pilot and copilot as to who was going to say "rotate"?
