How the F do 130 people walk away from this?

Plane crashes near the ground is actually more survivable % wise than say if a 4 passenger car hit head on with another on the highway. And from the sound of the article they crashed just as they were landing.Mid-air collisions on the other hand....
In the wrong seat.
Though we should wait bout a week and see how many of the survivors still live to that day.
Passenger 131 was the guy already standing in the aisle getting his luggage from the overhead compartment.
@ kblessinggr: makes sense. Problem is, with flying it's a control issue (or lack of thereof). You're just sitting there in this huge hunk of metal flying 30,000+ feet in the air and you have no idea what the captain's doing and what's going on.
At least with a car, my hands are on the wheel - I'm somewhat in control. I feel better even though my chances of dying are much much higher.

lol.
... they were not 30K feet though, they were already above the ground, slowed down for landing when they were hit by lightning.
apparently the dead passenger actually died of a heart attack as they were landing, so there are 0 fatalities so far in this accident due to the accident itself.
cause is possibly a microburst or windshear - we will see what the recorders reveal. visibility was good so hard to believe they would have fucked the approach up that badly in good visibility. possible though.
similar to the afriqiyah a330 crash in tripoli a couple of months ago - that one was in very low visibility (pilot error), "landed" short of the runway with 1 survivor (a small child)
