Chronicle of the air crash of Boeing 737 "Cubana de Aviacion" in Cuba

As follows from the officially presented data, the passenger airliner of the Cuban airline “Cubana de Aviacion” was flying from Havana to Holguín (the east coast of Cuba - ed.), But just a few seconds after takeoff, the plane began to lose altitude, as a result which hit the ground and exploded.

In fact, the plane fell not far from the capital airport of Cuba, which is perfectly visible on the video footage, but witnesses claim that there were no visual problems (smoke, flame, etc.) in the aircraft.

Due to the fact that the crash site is located relatively close to the airport, teams of firefighters, rescuers and medical assistance arrived at the crash site relatively quickly, but even despite this fact, no one managed to survive in the tragedy, although the Cuban authorities did not confirm this fact for a long time.

Preliminary versions and causes of the plane crash in Cuba 18 May 2018 year

Specialists involved in the investigation of the plane crash, identified mainly three main versions of the tragedy that happened, which can not be confirmed or denied, however, only after a thorough investigation.

engine failure

The version about the refusal of the passenger airliner Boeing 737 of the company Cubana de Aviacion of the power unit appeared almost immediately after the tragedy, however, given the fact that the aircraft was not overloaded and could fly with one functioning engine, it is logical to assume that either the version is not true, or the tragedy could be preceded by the attendant factors, for example, the failure of the second engine.

"If the passenger airliner could not gain the necessary speed, then if the engine fails, it will actually lose it quickly and will fall", - the expert asserts.

On the other hand, according to preliminary data, the dispatcher of the capital's Cuban airport claims that the crew did not report any technical problems on board.

Error crew

The error version of the crew is considered during the investigation of air crashes almost always, and the current tragedy was no exception. It is reported that the aircraft was operated by a foreign crew, which, quite possibly, could become one of the circumstances of the tragedy, but only under certain conditions.

Given the testimony of witnesses that the aircraft began to fall sharply, it is logical to assume that this could have contributed to the actions of the pilots

Poor-quality fuel

One version of the crash involving the Boeing 737 airliner in Cuba is also called the version of poor-quality fuel in the tanks of the aircraft. There were no fundamental factors indicating exactly this circumstance, but experts did not rule out that this version may also need careful study.
