The still or photo showing the port wing l/e damage is very late in the crash sequence. The a/c had already taken the nose off a parked Il-76 with, from memory of the initial TV coverage, the port wing. The port wing tip then touched the ground briefly and the crew ejected about this time as, or just before (again from memory) the a/c started to cartwheel.
Could'nt get to the RTL video referred to above BTW
