Willem Schreder, Director, Spaarna Hospital, said, "We took in here 13 people, 13 wounded people, in two or three hours. We had one severely injured, one life in danger. He recovered well and we now consider him in a good way."

Dutch newspapers were plastered with coverage of the crash.

People on the street were relieved there were some survivors.

Wim Roosblad, said, "It could of course have been much, much worse. Then we could have had a huge problem."

Loes Meidoom, said, "They say flying is the safest way to travel and anyway. On the road, there are many things that can happen as well. Thankfully though there was no fire."

A spokesman for the Dutch Safety Authority, said the flight's data recorders and voice tapes had already been sent to Paris for analysis.

Investigators will explore a wide range of possible causes.

A full report is not expected to be ready for months.
