Not worthy of the dramatic gasping.
The very early and perhaps limited information may have indicated that this was not an accident per the definitions embodied in
NTSB 830.2
Substantial damage means damage or failure which adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and which would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component. Engine failure or damage limited to an engine if only one engine fails or is damaged, bent fairings or cowling, dented skin, small punctured holes in the skin or fabric, ground damage to rotor or propeller blades, and damage to landing gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories, brakes, or wingtips are not considered “substantial damage” for the purpose of this part.
Obviously as additional details were revealed, NTSB acted promptly and appropriately.
