From press conference just finished.

9 people dead. 6 bodies removed from aircraft, 3 bodies still in the cockpit, being left there for now for investigation purposes.
82 wounded
Of whom 24 severely, and 6 not certain to survive their injuries.

Previous chairman of Dutch ALPA has said that a loss of thrust seems likely at this point.
Aircraft cleared a line of trees and landed in ploughed, muddy field.
