The aircraft pictured in the BBC report looks relatively intact for a fatal accident.
Not to me it doesn't. The front end has been demolished while the cockpit backwards is relatively OK. Aircraft that stall and spin-in often suffer precisely this damage. Which is why they are fatal (usual caveats that it's early days and this may not be what happened to this aeroplane).
