After initially reporting no survivors, one passenger survived and literally walked away from the crash.
UNCC economics professor Matthew Metzgar interviewed on camera for this QC News piece on today’s JetZero announcement:
PBS newshour (watch while it still exists) reported that the survivor was sitting next to an exit.

Yep, extremely lucky fellow.
