The incident, which killed at least 38 people and injured a further 29

How did 29 people survive this? The fuselage is in multiple pieces!

A plane (or part of a plane) can have the required aerodynamics for a "flat stall" (flat spin) or similar condition of falling. Depending on the plane (or part of it), and depending on whether a fire follows the fall - with incredible luck it's possible to come down at parachute-like speed and get away with injuries only.

However, if the plane was still controllable, then during an unpowered landing, pilots are supposed to trade speed for lift on the last moment. I guess they succeeded partly - they died, but folks in the tailward part stayed alive.

Being able to question survivors will help determine what happened, but the holes in surfaces look like air defense shrapnel to me. :(

The tail section separated on impact. There’s a couple videos, one from the outside showing people being rescued from the tail, and one from the inside from one of the survivors.

For a moment I thought you said that they rescued someone from the inside of one of the other survivors
