Apparently the tail fell off somehow as it was landing and plane ended up rolling. 2 people confirmed dead so far, and 60+ injured.

Ok, that one actually amused me a bit.More blood on the hands of the Black Prince. His reign will drown in it.
I will forever more tighten my seatbelt when the light comes on.Yeah I have no clue how only 2 people died and so many were unhurt from that. The wreckage looks bad and the plane supposedly rolled several times on the runway.
More shocking news than the plane crash: this guy actually watched Space CowboysSupposedly clipped the sea wall with the tail (which removed the tail) on a too short approach at roughly a 45 degree angle. Maybe the pilot watched Space Cowboys the night before and decided to "tap the brakes" a bit on the approach.
Are there landings where the belly does not face downwards? I'm just imagining what the captains announcement would sound like. "Shit's too fucked. We have to land on the roof. Everyone hang tight!" Wouldn't you call landing on the wing a crash?I'm guessing the reason there aren't a ton of deaths is because the plane was doing a standard landing, which means it was slowing its airspeed down a lot and was oriented in a way so the belly was facing downwards.
Er, to make it better/worse, the autopsies suggest that one of the dead may have actually been killed by being run over by one of the emergency vehicles responding to the crash...Yeah I have no clue how only 2 people died and so many were unhurt from that.
