RIP.

It does seem as though the pilot did well to get it down in one piece in an obstruction free area.

From the photos, I could not see whether the TR was intact. Can anyone advise?

A failure of the main drive could lead to a shaft whipping around close to the tanks, which could account for the fuel fire. There does not seem to be much debris left in the area of the tanks.
