From wikipedia:
"The PC-12 is offered in standard nine-seat airliner form, in a four-passenger seat/freight Combi version, as a six-seat corporate transport, and as a seven-seat corporate transport with the inclusion of an aft three-seat bench.A pure freighter model is under consideration."

I've flown the PC-12. No possible way to have 17 passengers even comfortably standing/sitting inside. The fact they hit a cemetery sort of rules out folks on the ground... sadly. Not that that'd be a good thing either.

eyewitnesses claiming actually that many people:

"In California, Tom Hagler said he saw a group of about a dozen children and four adults Sunday morning at the Oroville Municipal Airport, about 70 miles north of Sacramento.
Hagler, owner of Table Mountain Aviation, described the children as ranging from about 6- to 10 year olds. He let the children into his building to use the restroom.
''There were a lot of kids in the group,'' he said. ''A lot of really cute kids.''
Hagler said he showed the pilot where he could fill up on fuel, and the pilot said he expected his flight to take two-and-a-half hours."
yikes.

and that no negligence existed while loading up the aircraft.
