AP - 03:46Z 4/16 update: 21 confirmed dead "mostly on the ground" (!!) No deaths confirmed yet among the 79 on the plane's manifest. 113 injured, including many on the ground obviously

"One of the plane’s pilots reported that an engine died as the
plane taxied [sic] down the runway, Gov. Mpaluku said. When the pilots
tried to brake, a tire failed as well, the governor said."

had been raining until 1 hour before accident (wet runway?)

Sounds like Murphy's Law was operating overtime...
