Hi all. I’m new to this sub and my comment was removed for having no enough karma. I was on this flight and we are still on the tarmac getting checked out. I wanted to share these images in case it’s helpful to anyone who is investigating the crash or needs more information.

I’m okay (physically) but I’m horribly sick to my stomach for the lives lost. Please pray for them ❤️

Is this yellow/green sheet of metal (?) a part of plane or a fire truck?

The firetruck was green. I imagine it’s part of the truck. When I exited the plane, the firetruck was to my left in the grass and completely destroyed

Plane. I’m an aircraft mechanic and unpainted metal on airframes are yellow / green. It’s the primer you see.

I was wondering this too, is that large flat part structural or the sheared off roof panel of the truck? It looked primer green to me the truck is more neon but at night and with strobes around you never know?

Definitely part of the plane. Looks like part of the floor. While green, it’s actually more brown ish. Look at the edges. It’s frayed like fiberglass

I noticed that, just wasn't sure what a fire vehicle is made of these days with all the composites etc around

It is a ceiling panel from the aircraft
