Social media reports of ambulatory survivors and a video of 'the pilot' being taken to the hospital in a private vehicle:

First impression is an overrun. I hope everyone got out..

BBC report
Nobody killed according to the beeb: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-45027112
"The crash happened 10km (six miles) from the airport just after take-off." so doesn't sound like an overrun... |

Aeromexico say 97 passengers, 4 crew. |
BBC reporting problem occurred on runway and was too fast to abort. |

Well, either an over-run or a crash six miles from the airport: It can't be both.
Hope the reports of all surviving are true. |

interesting...the passenger states it was a high speed abort....the aircraft was at high speed when it went beyond the fence and kept going beyond the airport boundary.
very fortunate |
400 yards
The current Wall Street Journal story is posted here (but may be firewalled)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/airline...=hp_listc_pos1 It asserts the the aircraft came to rest within airport grounds about 400 meters from the end of the runway. That sounds like a high-speed abort to me if accurate. Regarding passenger and crew condition, the current New York Times article (also may be firewalled): https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/31/w...av=bottom-well Asserts that 80 people are under hospital treatment, with 12 of the 18 at just one hospital listed in critical condition. |
That sounds like a high-speed abort to me if accurate. |
