From the photos plus my knowledge of the aircraft along with just about every T67 accident and its build, this picture is consistent with the de-lanimation of the wings assumed to be from the weight of the fuel in the tank at force loading on impact - based on little or no forward speed. Soon as the composite structure starts to fail or is weakened on a join then it will go fairly quickly as can be seen from the port wing which has failed at the tank slightly left of the B in the reg, the weight of the flaps and fuel in tank based on a high vertical impact is as you would expect to see.

For the sake of good order and out of respect to families and others affected i shall now silence on the subject. Apologies if my words have caused offence or upset.
