Two people were rescued alive from a Cuban plane that crashed this Monday in the Everglades, west of Miami-Dade, Florida.
The authorities, reported the television channel Local 10They have not communicated the identity of those rescued, nor the origin or destination of the aircraft, which fell 14 miles from the Opa-locka airport.
The plane, as can be seen in the images, has the initials ENSA, for Empresa Nacional de Servicios Aéreos, under its wing, and is an AN-2, a single-engine biplane designed by the Russian company Antonov, similar to the one used by the Cuban pilot Rubén Martinez to flee the Island last october 21. These are aircraft used in Cuba for services related to agriculture, especially crop spraying.

The US officials, says the local chain, have not confirmed a connection between the two cases either.
Rubén Martínez, who landed at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in Florida from Sancti Spíritus, is still in federal custody after the judge denied him a bond for not having presented his case to the Prosecutor’s Office.
The pilot is charged with illegal entry into the United States and air piracy in Cuba.
In a phone call with the Telemundo network In the past weekThe 29-year-old said that he had planned to leave the island “for a long time”, that he had some money collected to achieve his purpose and that it took him 12 days to plan the maneuver.
