MEXICO CITY (AP) - A small plane heading for Arizona crashed in the northern Mexico border state of Sonora on Saturday, killing six people and injuring another, authorities said.

The Cessna had taken off from the city of Hermosillo in Sonora on a flight to Tucson, Arizona, when it crashed shortly after takeoff.

The dead included a Sonora state government economic development official, Leonardo Ciscomani. The pilot was also among the dead.

The state prosecutors’ office said the cause of the crash was under investigation.

I dont know a thing about planes but I sure wouldn't get and travel in a car made before the 1990s, let alone a plane

probably 6 in the plane and 1 guy who was driving near by and slammed on his brakes when the power line came crashing down and hit his face on the steering wheel

yea thats crazy. something about them not bracing, right?

The age of a plane doesn't really matter for safety. Everything is inspected regularly and replaced at regular intervals.... but that's in the USA because of FAA regulations. Dunno wtf they do down there in Mehico.

Yea, I'd rather fly commercial, first-class.

recovering from a fully burnt body must be hell on earth srs
