Now saying near 100 dead.

What is the carrying capacity of the plane involved.

Said it went down in a very heavy rainfall. Seems it crashed in an accessible site, they have video of it on Fox.

Reports there were 123 passengers and 5 crew.

Nope, right off the runway. The problem is Thailand has very few trained EMTs and nobody even close to a US Paramedic level. I wouldn't be surprised if a large number of the deaths were caused by the rescuers because of bad patient care.
