The fuselage is still intact so there's hope. If they managed to get the slides out, its possible that most if not all were able to escape before the fire got too big.

Still no official word on deaths or injuries, as far as I can find. Though with a crash like that, I can't imagine there weren't at least a number of serious injuries.

It's early yet, so we'll have to wait and see.

Amazingly, it seems no fatalaties. Many passangers have tweeted or used other sicial media saying there were some minor injuries, but everyone got off the plane before the fire spread.

Watching it right now, I am shocked that so far, there haven't been the standard "Thank God" crap I hear in clips, but I have it on CNN.

Some passenger tweets after the fact are conveying a quick exit before the fire got big. According to CNN reports I am watching right now.

Some burns, but no reported critical injuries as of yet.

Give it time, if everyone survives the believers will call it a "miracle".

But these same credulous morons would do the same if only one person survived.

I want to know, when it ceases to be a "miracle", when half live and half die?

No one wants to chalk the outcome to CONDITIONS based on multiple factors.

Yes because death in it's millions of times a year from every aspect never negates willful ignorance and selection bias.

I just read a report of 2 deaths and a handful of injuries. Looking at the reckage, it is pretty amazing there are not more dead!

Out of curiosity, anyone know what happened to the roof?

And yeah, Reuters says 2 now.
