The wings are damaged but from the video the wings are intact and attached.

They are saying the tail fell off upon landing. I wonder if it was a serious tail strike. Trail of runway damage from the start of the runway to where the tail debris is.

"...it appears the tail just fell off. Wits now saying this thing started to cartwheel upon landing, tearing a wing off then the tail."

While a tail strike is most likely scenario, I suppose the tail could have broken off as the result of a very hard landing.

Both wings largely intact, so cartwheeling is NOT indicated.
