Ok, so if I can summarize for CNN:

----------------------------------------
Tuesday's crash on a jungle highway, in a marsh, was apparently trying to
make an emergency landing in stormy weather, about 3 kilometers from the
airport's runway.

According to reports, the plane circled the airport until attempting to make
the emergency landing, and did not report any mechanical failures, but the
crash was possibly caused by a sudden change in wind speed or direction, a
phenomenon known as wind shear.

The plane made an emergency landing, it did not appear the crash was caused
by a technical failure, although, the plane "suffered some malfunction and
we went down".
-----------------------------------------------

Yep, that about covers it.
