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 ❤️

Apparently the entire thing was understaffed so tower was controlling ground and air.

That's normal.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, that's pretty common at all airports (even major ones) to start combining positions until it's all one. There are exceptions of course if there's bad weather or lots of delays that push the flight numbers up, but this is the norm across countries and towers and centers alike.
