ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήAn aircraft heading to the Canary Islands crashed on take off at a Madrid airport Wednesday reportedly killing at least 40 people, officials said.
The crash, which reportedly followed an explosion on board the budget airline jet, sent up a plume of smoke visible from several kilometers away.
The office of Spain's prime minister, quoting the Madrid Regional Development office, put the casualty figure as at least 40. Spain's leading newspaper El Pais reported at least 45 people dead.

The Red Cross in Spain told CNN that it has set up a field hospital at the airport to treat the injured.
Clouds of gray and black smoke billowed from the site, but even local media cameras could not get a close view of the accident scene. A helicopter passed overhead, dumping what appeared to be water on reported grassfires sparked by the blaze.
Ambulances were seen speeding in and out of the airport and dozens of emergency vehicles gathered at one entrance point.
Spanish journalist Carlota Fomina told CNN said she had spoken to one of the passengers who had been on board the plane at the time of the crash who described an explosion and fire at the back of the plane.
She said they the plane appeared to make a relatively controlled landing.
Spanair, owned by Scandinavian airline SAS, is one of Spain's three major private carriers.
CNN sister station CNN+ is reporting that the plane, an MD-80, may have veered off the runway after experiencing engine problems. Spanish media reported at least 11 fire engines were dispatched to control the blaze.
Aviation analyst John Strickland told CNN the MD-80 is known as a reliable aircraft with a good safety record.
An airport official said there were 164 passengers on the plane, including two infants. It is unclear if that number included the crew members.
Barajas airport closed after the flight, but it is expected to reopen later in the day, the official said. iReport: Send us your pictures, video, information.
The United States' National Transportation Safety Board is sending an investigation team to Madrid to aid in the crash investigation because the aircraft is an American-made McDonnell Douglas MD-82, NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said.
He said the group will depart "as soon as we can gather the team together."
Spanair has set up a local emergency number for family members, +34 800-400-200.
