Mexico: plane crashes near Durango but all 101 people survived, says governor
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/31/mexico-plane-crash-durango<snip>
An Aeromexico airliner carrying 101 people from the Mexican city of Durango to the country’s capital has crashed soon after take-off, but all 97 passengers and four crew survived the accident, according to Mexican officials.
Eighty-five people were injured in the accident – some seriously – but José Rosas Aispuro, the governor of Durango state, said on Twitter that there were no fatalities.
A spokesman for the Durango state health ministry said two of the victims were in critical condition.
