the landing was so hard that an undercarriage leg went up through the wing. Stalled or not that aircraft virtualy fell the last few feet.
er no, it didn't actually. It penetrated the tertiary structure aft of the wing and sizeable pieces of structure poking upwards in the photo are the gear leg and the beam which supports the pivot or trunnion. Look carefully at the intact wing forward of the gear oleo. If I recall there was no fuel leak except a small one from the centre tank?
