That smoke and debris appears much too early (and at the wrong end of the boat) to be associated with a wire break and flop over the side. Assuming that is a video of the approach in question, which seems very likely on first inspection, an altogether much uglier landing accident (such as a ramp strike) has to be considered more likely.
