The aircraft was an Antonov-12, not an Antonov-24.

Myself and a colleague reached the crash site about 90 seconds after the crash (just behind the fire trucks) and it was carnage. I've seen crash sites before, but this was something else with all the secondary explosions from the cargo.

RIP to the 4 crew killed and I hope the 2 survivors appreciate just how much of a miracle it was that they made it out alive.
