From the published pics it looks like the engine mounts yielded with downward bending with some force from the port side.
The fuselage is not very distorted - even the starboard windshield and front door frames are basically intact.
The fuselage bottom skin is rippled but also looks intact.
Depending on seat failures and safety harness performance, the impact may well have been survivable for at least some on board.
Aeromarine what do you reckon?
