It seems to be this 737-200:

JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!
AvHerald says it is an Global Aerolineas Damojh airplane on behalf of Cubana de Aviacion performing flight CU-972 / DMJ-972
I have no idea what is the relationship between Cubana, Global Aerolineas Damojh, Easy Sky and Global Air.

Originally posted by Gabriel View PostIt looks line not. The plane crashed hundreds of feet to the side of the RWY, it doesn't look like they run out of runway, unless the plane run out of runway, took off, and then did a 180.

Hey guys, what the F are you talking about?
Take off configuration warning???
Similar to LAPA??? Similar in what regard other that it was a 737 200 that crashed on take-off?
Let me remind you that the Concord also crashed on take-off, so maybe this was similar to the Concord crash? Or AA 191???
Any reason to believe that this was a flapless take-off or anything similar?????
If the AvHerald location (see picture in my previous post) is anywhere nearly correct, that is almost impossible.
The plane crashed some 1500 ft to the SIDE of the runway!!!!

Speculation:
1. Failure of Engine 2 + inadequate management thereof causing right turn and stall, crash, burn.
Or
2. Control failure causing extreme right turn, crash, burn.
Or
3. On board explosive device.
Or
4. Meteorite clips right wing causing uncontrolled right turn and crash (Possibly a subset of 2).Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

though they are notoriously unreliable, 1 alleged eyewitness said the plane "burst into flames" prior to the crash.
1 black box recovered.
i'm guessing that not much truth will come out of whatever investigation is done. communist, state-owned airline.....
