[2][3][4] The pilot had recently married and lived with his wife at the place where the crash occurred.

Some were helped at the scene and eighteen people were hospitalized (seven to the Catharina Ziekenhuis and two to the Diaconessenhuis [nl]).

[5] The other person that was killed was Mr. Jan Kortoom, 48[3] or 51[5] years old, a construction worker, and lived at the “Bergen op Zoomstraat”.

[3][5] After the people were rescued from the burning houses, the household effects were saved and placed on the streets.

[5] The Eindhoven Air Base commander Von Rest flew in from Germany and created emergency housing in the officers' mess and at camp Beatrix for twelve families (39 people) who became homeless.

In the evening the minister of defense Kees Staf arrived by airplane and visited together the disaster area with the mayor of Eindhoven.

[5] The day after the crash, on 23 September, the Commander of the Royal Netherlands Air Force Anton Baretta visited the crash site with his wife and expressed condolences to the affected families.

The Dutch Air Force also stated that his commanders had been very clear regarding the correct execution of the given orders.

[4] In an early report it was stated that the pilot attempted to climb before the crash, but failed in doing so.

[3] According to the investigation committee, there are multiple possible explanations for why the pilot was not able to avoid the house in time.

The most plausible reason is that he didn't react in time, as he was unexperienced and it was his first solo flight.

As he was flying in a westerly direction, it is also possible that he was blinded by the bright sun or he was inattentive by searching for his home and wife.
