BREAKING: Cuba plane crash: 'High number dead'

A commercial flight headed to the Cuban city of Holguin, crashed near a roadway and high school campus in the Boyeros neighborhood next to the airport. 

There were 104 passengers on board Cubana de Aviacon airline and according to sources, there was a high number of dead.

According to witnesses, a huge fireball followed by a towering plume of smoke was visible near the airport located on the outskirts of Havana. The plane lay on a farm, according to local media, and firefighters were spraying water on the smoldering remains.

An aircraft from Cubana de Aviacon crashed in 2005 in Caracas during takeoff when it experienced mechanical problems. It lost a wing and an engine before crashing onto a highway. Six passengers were injured.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel along with other government officials rushed to the site along with first responders.

This is an ongoing situation and more information will be made public.

MH 370 Prognostications

Did Malaysian flight MH 370 fly to Iran, captured by the Ayatollah and held in a secret location? Did the plane explode in the air and the pieces vaporized into smithereens? What's the deal with the two Iranians who got aboard the aircraft with stolen passports? Is the Malaysian military not telling us something as they send their own navy to the wrong area on a fool's errand? Did the pilot or co-pilot decide that now was the time for all good jihadists to come to the aid of Allah? What happened to the transponder? Why aren't we hearing the ping from the "black box?" And finally, will the New York Yankees get into the playoffs this season?

I don't mean to sound as if I'm making light of this terrible event, but to prognosticate when we don't know what happened, is pointless. It tells us nothing, but tries to make sense of the tragedy.

I hope the answers come soon but one thing I hope comes from this is better airport security.
