The difference was the type of impact, overrun with horizontal deceleration resulting in the @rse being torn out of the ship as it passed some rocky ground (although it looked like there had also been a drop off the end of the R/W ) versus crashing with a high vertical descent rate (magnified for the cockpit probably, as it was pivoted into the ground)
In fact it reminded me of the one that went rallycrossing off the side in a crosswind a year or so ago, except this time the terrain was even less friendly.
For the avoidance of doubt, 4x4 capability does not figure in 737 highlight features.
