That looks pretty grim. 4 taken to the ER instead of to the Coroner is good news so far.
 
NTSB Final Report for N150WR

Based on the available evidence, the engine lost total power due to an oil starvation event as a result of the loose turbocharger oil line fittings, which allowed for an oil leak. Although the engine had undergone recent maintenance in the vicinity of the loose oil line fittings, the associated maintenance tasks did not require the those fittings to be loosened or removed. As such, the investigation could not conclusively determine how and when the oil line fittings became loose.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

A total loss of engine power due to oil starvation as a result of loose turbocharger oil line fittings.
