‘Human error’ caused Cuba plane crash

A plane crash that killed 112 people in Cuba on May 18 was caused by human error, the Mexican company that owned the jet said Monday. Global Air said a study by international experts of the black boxes from the Boeing 737 had found that the pilots' take-off was too steep. According to witnesses, it plunged just as it made its first turn after take-off, crashing into a potato field outside the capital.
