Even if the mods like to pull my comments. The two main gear pictures indicate that the main gear was retracted, especial the bent oleo on the first picture. It got a lot of load on impact, but asymmetrical as the oleos are not bent the same. The impact speed was quite high and the damaged oleos show that the impact was not flat but at a relative high angle of attack.
