One thing does surprise me. Why did the flight deck all succumb when they would have had full harness and more warning of the pending accident than anybody else? The cockpit area seems relatively undamaged.
Dutch newspaper
De Telegraaf reports that the three pilots were crushed when the instrument panel behind them entered the cockpit. A
local paper for North-Holland Province quotes the chairman of the
Dutch Safety Board, who appeared in a news programme on TV yesterday, as saying: "When the aircraft hit the field, the instrument panel behind the pilots was pushed forward, crushing the crew".
