winglets on both sides sheered off halfway

What is absolutely remarkable is that the upper parts of the winglets on both wings seem to be sheered off.

Would that suggest that the a/c flipped over before coming to rest ?

Could explain why, as apparently reported, the a/c is lies with its nose 180° towards runway 18R. And it could explain the very heavy impact damage on the underside of the forward part of the a/c
