treadigraph: Yes, they were fortunate. When I saw the photo I feared the worst. I haven't yet seen any reports on the circumstances. Maybe the wings sheared off and left the fuselage relatively intact. If I find out more I'll post it.

Pilot DAR: thanks for correcting the date in the title!

I just looked at the photograph again and see that the two cockpits are visible, lying on their side, and relatively intact. So the wings were not sheared: just a very solid fuselage build!
