It does not appear to be greatly deformed and not folded back, almost neatly peeled off. Cannot see the other side of it but it appears from what can be seen to have in the main, retained its form. In considering the possible impact trajectory it may provide some clues. Such as a break of the tail section with a high AoA on impact.
