Full series of videos including the post-crash scene, and the (apparent) survivor, however I just can't comprehend how anyone could possibly survive an impact and fire like that, unless he was perfectly tossed out? There appears to be a significant vertical speed, like clearly lethal? I don't see how someone COULD be "tossed" forward.

Then again, the spread of the wreckage would tend to prove me wrong I suppose? I surely wouldn't have suspected that based on the video of the crash.

Warning - the footage is rather intense towards the end.

EDIT: It appears that the #1 / port side engine suffered the damage and surge / flames, as I see no frame indicating flames when viewed from starboard side (at all).
