No, the fuselage structure is physically broken right behind the cockpit. The broken cockpit section hanging nose down over the center intake. Looking at the cockpit section, it's a good thing the pilot got out.

Nah, that'll buff right out. Pilot just slammed the door too hard when he stopped for a pee. {;^)
Yep, you're right, when in doubt - EJECT! You get a better view of the crash that way.

Thanks - I was looking at the one pic where it’s still flying but real low. Hadn’t seen the pic you showed.

I heard a news report about this from the aviation reporter at one of our local stations. According to sources, they’re saying that the engine “just quit”. The fact that the plane did NOT burst into flame on impact makes me wonder if the thing had enough fuel.
This makes me think SOMEONE is gonna lose their ass on this one.
