And at least 5 Blokes standing (or sitting, possibly, in one instance) around, along with the Truck, doing precisely nothing!
One, on the far left, appears to be taking a photograph. Either of the A/C involved in the incident or the A/C from which the photo was taken.

"landing upside down on the runway"
I think I see the problem. Sometimes bucking convention has its upside down side.

Someone I knew put a Stearman on its back doing just that before I had a chance to fly it. Of course the pilot will blame a stuck brake in an attempt to save face. If the brakes were stuck on that should have been obvious at takeoff and they don't normally become stuck on in flight.
