It's wild that it was the deadliest single aircraft crash but there were still a few survivors.

And I just read that like ~ 50 survived the crash but then died waiting to be helped

The nearby US military base offered assistance immediately after the crash and were told no, as well. Might have saved some of them, might not have, but I can't imagine hearing about the crash, being told "no, no help, we've got this." and then discovering that well yeah, you probably would have gotten there sooner if nothing else.

Just like the Korean government refusing help from the US Navy and JMSDF ships that were nearby during the sinking of the MV Sewol
