From german News channel n.tv:

"...Die Besatzung des Jumbos habe überlebt, weil der Rumpfteil, in dem sie sich befanden, von den explodierenden Tanks abgerissen und mehr als 50 Meter weit weggeschleudert worden sei, sagte die Krankenschwester der kolumbianischen Luftwaffe, Laura Linares. Sie war eine der ersten am Unglücksort. ..."

"..."The crew of the Jumbo survived, because the part of the ac body in witch they where located was torn off by ( / from the part with) the exploding fueltank and skid more than 160 ft away." reported Laura Linares, a nurse of the Columbian Airforce and one of the first persons arriving at the accidents location."

Condolences to those families with loved ones lost.
