The latest arrticle in BKK Post, states that both pilots are listed among the fatalities. I would think so...as the front end takes the worst of impact.

good. memories of SQ6 in taipeh came straight back. causes would only be
known later but it would be definitely a mixture of many factors.
sympathies and thoughts to families of deceased. i feel for you.

Midnight turned to opening at 6:00 AM, to now (8:50 AM).....all morning flights cancelled, and noone knows when the airport will open.
Very predictable.
Airline accidents are horrific events, and are usually followed by a couple of days, of chaos...and misinformation. Truly sad, and my heart goes out, to those involved.
