F-15E crash

Quote from Lonewolf 50:

"As I understand the media report, a Strike Eagle (F-15E) had a problem at high altitude, crew ejected..."

From the two photos published by the Telegraph, have to opine that the main wreckage area is very concentrated, and the main part of the fuselage and centre-section, at least, look to have been substantially intact after impact - prior to the fire. Could this have been a forced landing, or an attempt at one?
