Sad news, so glad the crew escaped unhurt.
From what one can see from the pic, it's probably rebuildable given plenty of bucks - left wing and engine appear very badly damaged, that appears to be a prop blade sticking up behind the wing!

Ah, so that was the starboard engine behind the port wing... Yes, it is a bit of a mess...
