The 737 was on of AA's oldest apparently. Survivor was ejected during the crash, most of the deaths were by fire. Half of the populace of Tam are at the airport trying to get info or else searching the wreckage. There was a similar accident at Tam in the 70's - the aircraft flew into a nearby mountain, again with one survivor.
Apparently 11 expats dead seven of whom were French.(Fr Embassy source).
