The miracle that saved the lives of the passengers and crew was that both wings - which hold the fuel - were torn off.

Yeah, that seems to happen when planes flip. Saw a video of a couple of years ago where a prop plane flipped. Once one wing ..... “detaches” the other one just does what wings do — it elevates in the air and flips the plane over. Inevitable.

Also what saved lives was that everyone was strapped in. Not like mid-air crappola where most are not .
