Yes, it looks like the plane came in at an high angle of attack and the tail section hit the breakwater and the start of the “runway” if you will and it broke off the airplane. There is a debris field from just in the water to where the plane ended up. Amazing if everyone got off the plane with no one being killed.
There may have been a power loss and the pilot was trying to make landfall no matter what. Looks like he just did with no room to spare. A 100’ shorter and the whole plane would have been in the water and slammed into the breakwater.
PIC didnt manage his final approach if you ask me.
yes I am a VFR SEC pilot who has never flown a heavy.
just GUESSING.
