Looks like Vovachan has a proper picture.
It would be interesting to learn what made this accident non-survivable by the crew & passengers. Clearly the front end was heavily involved in fire, but frequently there is some time at the beginning of an event that allows the able-bodied to escape a fire. The aircraft appears to have stopped without major disruption to the structure (upright with wings and tail still attached to the fuselage.)

Were they all disabled by impact forces? Did seats break loose. Did cargo come through the cockpit? What made this accident completely non-survivable?
