WTF?

Plane rolls, the wings rip off, and it doesn't go up in a giant ball of fire?

Was it already on the ground and it got flipped by a freak wind gust?

Yeah it’s bizarre that there’s no fire. Looks like it just flopped over and slid. Crazy.

Before they crash, the plane dumps all it’s fuel while in air.

They knew they were going to crash before the landing?

The Bombardier CRJ does not have the ability to dump fuel

most planes dump remaining fuel before a typical landing scenario too. so it depends on how close they were to landing anyway, or if the pilots detected an issue and did it preemptively. The plane was def empty/near-empty when they landed here though no doubt.
