I hope the crew are okay, but from the look of the aftermath and the fact there's no mention of the crew yet, I assume not all survived. Shortly after takeoff is one of the most challenging times for an incident. Low altitude, low-speed and full fuel means things can go very bad, very fast.

It’s been confirmed that the entire crew perished, and sadly the max complement of eight was aboard.

RIP!

As a betting man… this is not survivable

there are sadly all too many cases like this: the Concorde's last flight comes to mind. Just horrible.

RIP

B-52 crew has to bail out, no ejection option.
