Have you heard whether there might be people still on the plane? I'm hearing things about people in the tail end of the plane. How hard the impact would have been for them.

Hoping they just didn't account for those unharmed who hightailed it off the plane and possibly got away from there as fast as they could.

One was a Samsung Exec and there was also a Facebook Exec - my bet is they were all in business class. They were wrong about fatalities and injuries.

They sure gave us the impression that everyone got off - I hope so.

I'm one who follows plane crashes very closely and am very interested in the subject of air safety (kind of a hobby), so this is big news to me. My sympathies to the families.

There was decent coverage on their website. Apparently the center of the town is gone. The pic there of smoldering foundations showed there wasn't much left.
