I've seen video of the crash, and it doesn't look good for the potential of survivors. The plane appeared to be in a flat spin while descending rapidly, and broke up badly on impact. Stay tuned for more details as they appear.

UPDATE: It seemed very difficult to believe anyone could have survived that crash, and now the government has confirmed that all on board were killed.
