Further updates on surviving passengers:

a total of three injured passengers went from the crash site,
to the hospital, and then
were transferred to the
Connecticut Burn Center.

One of the three, Joseph Huber,
was admitted in critical condition;
his condition has since been upgraded from critical.
Thomas and Linda Schmidt are the other two passengers in the Burn Center.

This update is dated 8 October (today).
A Burn Center spokesperson told the press that
all three survivors are still there for treatment
and "doing well."
Two of these three, ironically, are firefighters.


One of the younger surviving passengers, Massachusetts native Andy Barrett,
is not in the Burn Center
but is still being treated.
WesternMassNews reports that a GoFundMe page has been raising funds for Barrett.
He sustained an injury to one eye, amongst other injuries,
and limited vision is returning, according to his wife.
