MEXICO CITY — An Aeromexico jetliner carrying 103 people crashed in stormy weather shortly after takeoff on Tuesday in Mexico’s north-central state of Durango, according to Mexican officials. But in what appeared to be a remarkable survival story, the authorities said none of the occupants had been killed. The Mexican airline said on its Twitter account that Flight 2431, an Embraer ERJ-190AR jet, had been scheduled to fly from the General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport in the city of Durango to Mexico City. The plane, carrying 99 passengers and four crew members, crashed after departing the airport around 4 p.m., Secretary of Communications and Transportation Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said on Twitter. Aeromexico updated the passenger count late Tuesday to include two infants.
