A private cargo plane blew a tire during take-off Thursday
morning at the Culiacan airport in Mexico City. The blown
tire caused it to veer off-course, crashing through a runway
fence and into a busy intersection, authorities said. The
accident killed all 3 people aboard the jet, and 6 more on the
ground, including 2 children.

The 43-foot Sabreliner jet operated by Jett Paqueteria,
struck an Oldsmobile carrying a family of four, as well as a
Hummer carrying 2 Mexican soldiers.  It then burst into
flames, and all 9 people died when they were engulfed by
the ensuing inferno. Five others were also injured in the
accident. The Mexico City based transport firm that the
plane was licensed too, would not initially answer any
questions regarding the planes cargo or its destination.
