I don't know the crew - just happy they are safe - but one thing remarkable about this incident is that comments immediately went to banter or worse, with little or no speculation ( it's a rumour network, & in the best instance may even lead to lessons learned, not finger pointing ) - as to what caused the crew to get out...

A few little points -

No matter how it appears, the thing didn't land vertically like something out of Hotshots, so I'm not surprised by longitudinal scrapes.

Why is the tailfin so badly damaged - explosion on impact ? Unusual.

What is the black tape around the pitot ?

Not looking for conspiracies here, though one problem with this picture ( situation ) springs to mind...

It's quite normal for shots of incidents to be out in the public quickly, so the delay then hysteria seem begging conspiracy theorists; I think I can guess roughly what happened, but will not bother stating it here, and the world isn't waiting for my opinion !
