All Passengers Survive Plane Crash in Mexico
This is What's Trending Today....
All 103 passengers and crew members have survived a plane crash in Mexico.
The Aeromexico-operated jet had just taken off Tuesday in the Mexican state of Durango when it smashed into the ground near the runway. All the people on board survived the crash and were able to escape before the plane fully caught fire.
Nearly everyone suffered some injuries, Mexican officials say. Most of the injuries were minor. But the pilot and one young passenger remain in critical condition.
Some of the survivors have posted pictures and videos on social media. Twitter user Ashley Garcia posted a video she took right before and during the crash. People can be heard shouting in fear. The video also shows the passengers walking away from the fiery plane after they escaped.
Another survivor tweeted that it was the "scariest moment of my life... never thought this would happen to me."
Alberto Herrera of Chicago, Illinois, was on the plane. He told the Associated Press that a strong burst of wind and hail hit the plane and pushed it back to the ground.
"The higher up we went into the storm the heavier the hail got and more wind got to us," he said. "Then all of a sudden the plane starts rocking and it starts seriously, seriously moving around and then hitting the ground."
Herrera and other survivors said the plane burst into flames right after it hit the ground.
"We felt the flames coming quickly...there was a lot of smoke," Jaquelin Flores told the newspaper El Sol.
Romulo Campuzano, the head of a political party in Durango state, told Foro TV that both wings were on fire as he and other passengers escaped from the plane.
Officials say it is too early to say what caused the crash, but investigators are expected to look into wind shear as a possibility. That is when there is a difference in the speed or direction of wind over a short distance in the atmosphere.
Aeromexico chief Andres Conesa described the day as "very difficult" and credited the timely reaction of crew and passengers for their survival.
Conesa said the passengers included 88 adults, nine children and two babies. The crew consisted of two flight attendants and two pilots.

墨西哥客机坠毁 全员奇迹生还
这里是《今日热点》节目。
墨西哥一架客机坠毁，机上103位乘客和机组人员全部生还。
周二，在墨西哥杜兰戈州，这架墨西哥航空公司的客机刚起飞就撞上跑道附近的地面。飞机坠毁后，机上所有人都幸免于难，在飞机完全起火前，机上人员及时逃生。
墨西哥官员称，几乎所有人都受了伤。大多数伤者伤势较轻。不过，飞行员和一名年轻乘客仍然情况危急。
一些幸存者在社交媒体上发布了照片和视频。推特用户阿什利·加西亚（Ashley Garcia）发布了一段在坠机前以及期间拍摄的视频。视频中可以听到人们恐惧地大声喊叫。这段视频还显示，乘客们逃离后远离了那架燃烧着的飞机。
另一位幸存者在推特上表示，这是“我一生中最可怕的时刻……从未想过这种事会发生在自己身上”。
来自伊利诺伊州芝加哥的阿尔贝托·埃雷拉（Alberto Herrera）也在失事的飞机上。他告诉美联社，一阵大风和冰雹击中了飞机，将其推至地面。
他说:“飞机越往上靠近暴风雨，冰雹越大，风也越大。”“然后，飞机突然开始摇晃，机身开始剧烈地四处漂移，然后撞向地面。”
埃雷拉和其他幸存者表示，飞机坠落到地面后立刻起了火。
“我们感觉火势很快会蔓延……机身已经四处冒烟，”杰奎琳弗·洛里斯（Jaquelin Flores）对《El Sol》报纸说道。
杜兰戈州一政党领袖罗穆罗·坎普扎诺（Romulo Campuzano）告诉Foro电视台，当他和其他乘客逃离飞机时，两侧机翼已经着火了。
有关官员说，现在断言飞机坠毁原因为时过早，但预计调查人员将调查“风切变”的可能性。也就是说，在大气中，风的速度或方向会在短距离内发生变化。
墨西哥航空公司首席执行官安德烈斯·康内萨（Andres Conesa）称，这一天“非常难熬”，是机组人员和乘客的及时反应才让他们死里逃生。
康内萨说，乘客中包括88名成年人、9名儿童和2名婴儿。机组人员由两名空乘人员和两名飞行员组成。
