No large fire in the wings, even with the massive damage near the wing root, that likely tore the fuel system all to pieces. The only odd bit was a report from a pilot nearby who witnessed the accident and said he heard unusually loud engine noise just before impact. I suppose it could have been wing noise from a very unusual attitude. It appears the pilot made a huge effort to clear the last buildings on the approach path, and then was totally out of energy and had to give in to the stall. Pretty good outcome for such a situation. How the heck they avoided a ground loop is maybe just pure good luck.
