"at least 50 people walked away"

Local news station Noord Holland reports that "at least 50 people walked away from the plane". Eyewitnesses report "lots of open bone fractures", "one body bag". But witnesses also say that around the broken off and 180-degree turned tail section "there are still a dozen bodies lying around."

Reports are also that most part of the plane seems to be lying with the nose away from the runway it was supposed to land on. Which is highly remarkable, given the relatively small distance to the runway.
