Cuban 737 footage

The plane appears to be in a spin or has one of its control surfaces (perhaps rudder) jammed in full deflection.  It struck me as very unusual.

Hard to tell what is going on here.  It departs right before impact though.  Is this even authentic?   Do I see winglets?

The engines match (turbojets) but you are right, the plane the video does appear to have winglets.

Very sad to see. More BSery. Conspiracy theories.

Plane was carrying 20 preist..... Conspiracy theory.

Krupinski family "builder of Stars homes" killed in plane crash over weekend.  Conspiracy theory.

It's time for y'all to wake up. Seriously.

Aviation professionals need to start seriously looking in to this. Thats why I just want to spread awareness. Not paranoia.

That's my comment. I'm done. I don't want to drag this on like the last thread.

Spreading paranoia is exactly what you are doing. Severe conspiracy theories is not normal

Put it to rest.

Footage not very good anyway. A plane spinning out for no reason...

Hell, maybe it's a set up. Those preist could have went to Getmo. We shall never know.

Preface - speculation only.

Old B737 not maintenance supported due to Cuban embargo.
Please recall the B737 losses in the USA due to rudder hard-over incidents.

Embargo not relevant, IMHO.  They’re not maintained well because it’s a third world country.  Nigeria can get all the parts it wants but they still can’t keep things flying...

Agreed. Just speculating that this 737 was non-compliant with the modifications required under the Airworthiness Directive.

You are probably correct. Picked a great one for all the preist! /s
