Obviously we don’t yet known the 2 aircraft’s configuration at impact but it’s still difficult to see how the bigger aircraft got away with such little obvious damage, particularly to the wing structure.
Landed on top of the Dash 8 it seems. Shows how tough the fuselage of the A350 is. F1 survival cell tough?
