TTB, nothing to be alarmed about.
That 32 second clip shows a brief visual of what looks to be a crash site, from a distance, and then mostly shows a soldier trying to keep a bunch of curious civilians away from the crash site.
He appears to be acquitting himself in a polite and professional manner.
End of video pans to road where what appears to be an ambulance is coming to a halt. Quite a few cars parked there already, doubtless how the curious civilians arrived ...

A terrible loss - RIP guys.
The wing appears to sit on unburnt ground with approx T/O flap set. The wing appears to have a recognised pattern of damage not connected with its impact with the ground.
