Do you think the people they saw were thrown from the aircraft during the "skid" or was this post evacuation?

As you can see the aicraft was quite a distance from the "numbers"



This pic also shows the damage to the sea wall. Very obvious early touchdown! - don't send these guys to Saint Marteen!
