No it didn't.
It left it's right main about sixty yards behind and over to the right and it sheared it's left main flat to the ground and dragging behind which caused the inboard flap to backflip over the trailing edge of the wing.
Edit; Having said that the right main before detaching DID rupture the fuel tanks and there was significant fuel leakage. Point taken.
