If the crash is severe enough, the plane may break apart, and likely catch fire from the remaining fuel in the wings. At high speeds, passenger jets (being made from lightweight aluminum and plastics) tend to disintegrate completely, killing everyone and reducing the plane to several thousand fragments.

Even crashing at low speed into water, there are almost always fatalities. The "miracle" landing on the Hudson River in 2009 was very much an exception.
