An ATR 72-212 turboprop operated by Cuba’s Aero Caribbean crashed on November 4 in the ­central Cuban province of Sancti Spiritus, killing all 61 ­passengers and seven crewmembers. Flight 883, en route from ­Santiago de Cuba to Havana, lost contact with air traffic controllers at about 5:40 local time, after declaring “an emergency situation.”

Cuban aviation authorities ­subsequently suspended all flights as a result of ­Hurricane Tomas, which had been ­approaching the region at the time of the crash.
