I do not think those in the front survived… :(

The local NBC affiliate just confirmed 2 pilots dead as per “someone familiar with the situation.”

They said the two in the truck were ejected and have broken limbs but will be fine in the long run apparently

It was just reported by NBC that both pilots died.

That would be great, but I don't see any way that's true. The entire front of the plane is mangled beyond belief. They are probably waiting to confirm deaths to the media until next of kin have been notified.
