Passengers on an Aeroméxico flight experienced moments of panic at the Culiacán International Airport in Sinaloa amid uncertainty and tension due to operations for the alleged recapture of Ovidio Guzmán, son and heir of drug lord Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán Loera.
Unofficial sources reported that the flight with license plate XABCU, bound for Culiacán to Mexico City (CDMX), was shot at just as it was preparing to take off.
A video documented the moment when men, women, and children retreated to the ground to protect themselves from the bullets while the aircraft slowed down: “Why, mom, what happened?”
