Actually the photo with the Chief Pilot's story yesterday was more telling. It was shot from in front of the plane after it had landed looking back. It was completely intact with a small fire burning under the fuselage.

The Texan chase plane put all the effort in to coordinate with local authorities to get the fire trucks there ASAP...

Man, I wish they had had perhaps a brush fire truck (HD PU chassis) respond and they could have tried to get out to the plane.

Reminds me a bit of the tragic story several years back about a group refurbishing a B-29 that when down in some artic region. Several years of ferrying crews up during the short work season. Ferrying all 4 engines back to the states to have them rebuilt, ferrying up bulldozers in pieces to get a runway layed out, millions spent. They finally start it up, taxi the the end of the "runway" and then the APU catches fire and the thing burns to the ground.
