They report various injuries, but all are alive right now.

Evan, WDEF's job is reporting the news. They reported. This plane didn't fall out of the sky, it landed. All 4 on board survived the crash. There's an old pilot joke that any landing you can walk away from... is a good one. God saved them for his purposes, in my honest opinion.

Emergency Landing
Matt is correct it was not a crash! It was a highly skilled, highly trained, well qualified individual doing the job he gets paid to do.
It is not what pilots do wrong that gets millions of people to the places they want to go everyday! It is what they do right!
Almost anybody can learn to fly a perfectly good airplane.
Professional pilots, men and women, are not paid to fly an airplane, they are paid to be there in case the airplane stops flying.
Our best wishes to the passengers and pilot, and a speedy recovery.
