A Cubana de Aviacion Boeing 737 crashed on takeoff from Havana's Jose Marti International Airport on Friday, according to Cuba's state-run television.
The flight was headed to the Cuban city of Holguin and casualties are reported, an airport source told CNN.
A large fireball followed by a towering plume of smoke was visible near the airport on the outskirts of the Cuban capital, according to witnesses.
Cubana de Aviacion -- Cuba's national carrier -- has had to ground some of its aging fleet because of safety issues, though the cause of Friday's crash is unknown, CNN's Patrick Oppmann reported from Havana.

Probably going to be 100+ deaths, but good joke.

HAVANA - A passenger flight out of Havana has reportedly crashed after takeoff from Jose Marti International Airport.
Local 10's Havana bureau chief Hatzel Vela reports Cuban state-run television says the plane was a Boeing 737. The plane was rented by Cubana, the country's national airline, from Blue Panorama.
In a post to social media, Cuba's ambassador in the U.S., José Ramón Cabañas, said 104 passengers were onboard the flight.
Vela says the plane was headed for Holguin on the eastern side of the island and crashed near a high school campus.
The Associated Press reports airport employees have been alerted that a jet had crashed.
A photo taken from an airport terminal and posted to Twitter shows a large plume of smoke in the distance.

That is horrible and so is the school shooting and the millions of other folks who will die around the globe today...
But my goodness, it's Friday.
Live your lives people, live your lives.

Surprised to even hear about this from a Communist block country.

This will be completely buried because of school shooting.
