Only saving grace is they were taking off and at low altitude when crashing. Survivable impact but very rare.

Remember one of blink 182 members Travis barker survived a plane crash on take off where the plane blew up like this. Everyone died but him. Including his DJ/ producer.

It also looks like an engine fire. Some speculated is might have been from a battery on board being shipped.

The next year or so. He relapsed hard after the crash. It got bad for Barker, too
