In case somebody has trouble finding it, there is now an officially-translated-to-english version of the preliminary report about this accident here: http://www.fomento.es/NR/rdonlyres/1...reliminary.pdf

Today's round of witnesess didn't uncover anything new. The woman supervising the cargo loading ratified her first account

...
Cargo bay 1: a live animal (the dog that didn't survive), 22 passenger's suitcases plus the crew's luggage.
Cargo bay 2: fresh fish (400kg) and apparels (Timberland).
Cargo bay 4: 115 pieces of PAX luggage
...

She handed out the cargo sheet to the pilot personally and recalls asking him: "Is there any problem with the aircraft?" and the pilot replied: "(no,) None".

More witnesses will be called to declare within the next weeks. The maintenance technicians will have to declare on November 12th.
