It broke in two. Lots of stuff will be salvaged and reused, but the air frame is a total loss.
15 known dead.
I thought it was broken off mostly at the nose from the photo, but relatively undamaged behind the break. I thought salvage was likely, but I wondered about the possibility of reconstruction.
15 dead so far including both pilots.
The front part is crushed. Almost nothing is salvageable. it fell 35 feet from the runway to the fields below. It is a table top runway. Only about 6700 feet long. Ok in fine weather. A trap in crosswinds and heavy monsoon rains.
no way are you some kind of simpleton have you never heard of flex tape?
