Looks like it hit hard and scraped the right wing HARD on the runway.

Looked like all the gear was down to me.

Im no expert by any means but it kind of looked like a steep landing angle to me.

Looks like he dug in the right wing due to crosswinds.

Shedding the wing saved everyone on board. The fuel was in the wing and it was left burning on the runway while the fuselage kept sliding.

Maybe the runway should have been closed.

No, landing failure.

One thing is for certain, stay off the brakes when landing on an icy runway. Use rudder only and asymmetrical reversers if a crosswind.

looks like steep landing, with a hard hit that collapsed the right landing gear, then hit, collapsed, and disintegrated the right ening igniting the fuel being fed to the right engine, continued to skid and turn the aircraft to the right which then flipped over while skidding down the runway.

Looks like a controlled crash into the ground.
