This is from the National broadcaster in Ireland:

"The cause of the crash is not known. There were thunder clouds at 2,000 feet with a visibility of 800 metres.

Passengers said the plane caught fire very quickly.

The forward door had been torn off, enabling them to scramble out.

Several spoke of possible pilot error. One said he had heard the co-pilot say: ‘I told him to turn up the throttle.’"

Strange thing for a co-pilot to say if it is true.

Condolances to all nonetheless.
