I'm probably being slow here but if the aircraft was intact when it impacted the ground and then broke up into a lot of very wide-spread pieces, why isn't there a big black hole in the snow?
Specifically, I very much thought it looked like an in-flight break up because of how wide-spread the wreckage was and I'm having a hard time getting my head around the type of ground impact that would leave this sort of mess, as opposed to say a shallower version of the crater from the West Air Sweden CRJ crash in 2016?
