From Equador I can imagine it doesn't matter all that much, but there really is a difference between Eindhoven and Rotterdam/the Hague. Particularly if you're a Football (soccer) fan.
The pilot was executing a flight on behalf of the Stichting Hoogvliegers (Hoogvliegers Foundation). This is a Dutch charity that offers experience flights to sick/disabled children. One such child was on board, together with his brother and dad. His mom was witness to the crash from the ground.
I'm one of the main volunteers for this charity so I'm involved in the aftermath. As such, I know a lot of details but I'm not allowed to divulge them as yet.
Having said that, the child involved, his brother and his dad walked away relatively unhurt. A few scratches and bruises, and they were admitted to hospital overnight as a precaution. The pilot is in worse shape. He has been airlifted to the hospital with severe injuries.
