Just watched CNN and others. A poor but workable video of the crash shows the right wing rising 40, maybe 50 degrees up, well into the slide. I couldn't tell if the fuselage lifted or if the port wing was breaking to allow that roll.


The injuries are horrific. Many patients have multiple serious injuries, many spinal injuries and many gut injuries - possibly from the belts. It's astonishing that so many people were carried clear.
