Hopefully it is not a sign of what's to come!

Two of the four passengers, who were hospitalized after AeroMexico Flight #250 skidded off the runway upon landing during heavy rain at Reynosa General Lucio Blanco Airport yesterday at 4:55 p.m., are expected to be released from the hospital today according to doctors' reports issued this morning.

AND: The death toll in Saturday's Aeromexico crash has now been confirmed as four. A mother and her three children died on the ground when the aircraft skidded off the runway at Reynosa airport.

Flight 250, with 88 people on board,was attempting to land in heavy rain at the airport, close to the Texas border in Northern Mexico.

Conflicting reports have arisen about whether the plane's braking system failed. But Javier Quijano, an investigator, said: "We can't speculate on what the cause was yet. It hasn't yet been officially determined."
