I'm not an expert, but it looks strange to me - as if it were blown in place as opposed to flying across the sky at 450 knots and then crashing scattering debris for a mile or more. No tracks, debris running into the crash site and no extended line of burn because of fuel oil being scattered during a crash.
In a more vertical crash, nose down for example, tends to leave more of a crater with aircraft parts buried in or near the crater.
What say you?

Looks like he crashed in a flat spin. See how the tail is broken off to one side. This wasn’t a vertical crash, or at 450 knots.
