The witnesses name is Ricky Brown. Quote, "Over the hill side I saw a flash of light and the explosion. And then just a big plume of smoke come up", unquote. Another unnamed witness said she heard a large explosion.
Fuel tank ignition when the plane hit the ground.

I think you are right, sink. One thing that got me wondering was that it was reported that the passengers evidently burned to death - not smoke inhalation.
But, full load of fuel and a small perimeter when it crashed would make for a very hot fire. May the Lord have mercy on them all.
Taking off my foilhat here.
