CNN HD reports 16 dead.

I am also, amazed so many stayed alive

...at least 18 dead is being reported now, Arista...and 15 critically injured...with the damage to the plane and how it crashed, it did feel incredible that only two people died as first reported...?...no details on the dead as yet, but 10 infants were on board.?...just agonising for those waiting for news who had a family member/friend on board and for the families of the flight staff, obviously...all very, very sad......life is so fragile and so instantly taken...
