Live video: Not much left of the fuselage. Looks like the pilots thought they had a chance to find a flat surface on the top of the hill and skidded very briefly, but tangled up into a thin treeline. The engines are sitting in a small rainwash gulley that the treeline borders, and only the cockpit and a bit of additional fuselage remain lying on their side.
Source?
I don't know if they carry only the fuel they need (plus reserves) for each leg, or they fill up at the beginning of the day and just use it as they go back and forth. A CRJ can carry well over 1,000 gallons of jet fuel...if it was fully fueled, there's not going to be much left of it after that gets through burning.

Also reported that the survivor was another pilot utilitzing the jump seat to get to Atlanta.
