HAVANA (AP) — The Latest on the plane crash in Havana (all times local): 2:30 p.m. A military officer tells reporters that there appears to have been only three survivors in critical condition after a Boeing 737 crashed on takeoff from Jose Marti International Airport in Havana on Friday with 104 passengers and nine crew aboard. The officer declined to provide his name and other officials declined to confirm the figure. The plane came to rest in a yuca field where firefighters sprayed the charred fuselage with hoses.

The plane was operated by Cubana.
