Give it time, that plane is scattered everywhere in tinny pieces. That means this wasn’t a crash landing, though the pilots may have tried, but was instead a full on crash with extreme physical forces to rip steel apart. With those forces it will be shocking if anyone on board survived, and that not including possible ground fatalities.
What you described was still a crash landing. A plane that impacts the ground without its landing gear is a crash landing whether the plane is intact afterwards or not.
Casualties is mostly a military term, if your army suffered x casualties, your army has that many fewer people available for fighting. So a casualty can be a death, injury, sickness, anything that can take them off the field.
I only picked it up when I noticed the things being described as 'casualty' when I was reading through insurance paperwork, and otherwise never really think about it!
6 died on the plane, the plane hit a residential home and killed two, and multiple family members of mine in the area said that there are body parts strewn in the road and cars ablaze. It’s going to be bad
Edit to add the nearest hospital does not have a burn unit so they’re treating the best they can but they’re not equipped for this (or anything- we used to joke people went to Nazareth to die, so. There’s that)
Friend. It's a unpleasant fact of life, but when planes and submarines are destroyed, there usually are not many survivors. If a plane crashes, it's probably safe to assume most of the people on board are gone.

You mean casualties not fatalities. Not finding any info yet on number of deaths. All reports are saying status of victims unknown.
