The summary is:

 

low winds, good visibility, indications are that the plane came in too low and too slow (90 knots instead of 140).

 

There was a massive and quick response by local fire and rescue departments who went in and with brave crew who

remained aboard had to cut the seat belts of some injured to get them out of the aircraft before it burst into flames;

may well have been much worse without their heroic efforts.

 

The NTSB says it make take a year to publish its findings.

 

Condolences to the families of the dead; best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery of the injured - and admiration for the

bravery of the responders who keep it from being much worse.

+1 for that last statement.
