The plane was intact, the people were killed by fire not smoke inhalation. Must have been a fierce flash fire on the inside of the plane.

I must be missing something, what was feeding the fire? Did the fuel tanks feed it on the inside?

Eyewitness saw it explode after takeoff.

I'm confused, but that doesn't take much.

Got to go for a while.

Most of the fuselage was intact, the wings and the fuel tanks seperated leaving gaping holes for flaming jet fuel to enter.. and well lets not think too much about the aftermath.

Those poor souls.

Don't know just where the tanks are on this type of aircraft, bust most likely in the wings and under part of the fuselage. That's typical for a low wing monoplane transport aircraft.
