How terrible. You know the ones on board couldn't have survived. I wonder how many on the ground got caught up in that massive explosion. It's dark in these parts. The workers and investigators have a lot of work to do in the dark. So sad!

It's just a horrible tragedy... gotta wait now for experts to discover the cause..

Right now as you say they are literally as we speak working in the dark.. the airport closed for 5 miles around

There were 3 crew members on board...
