latest from el mundo

sorry to bear bad news and yes its "only" the press
although El Mundo seems to have been accurate on the (awful) details of this crash ahead of all other news outlets
they must have their sources

what they are saying is that only about 20 survivors, rest died in the aircraft fire - specific reports from emergency service personnels entering the shell of the plane after fire died down and seeing only carbonised bodies

as a veteran SLF, would like to know where the survivors were sitting - instinctively would assume in the front as MD engines are in the back
