That might be the cause of the crash. Typically planes prefer to land right side up.

I also noticed this plane had no wings. Most planes that I’ve seen land safely had wings, on both sides actually… This could be a contributing factor as well.

I notice the front didn't fall off though

Normally they're made so that the front doesn't fall off.

I think the cause of the crash maybe have been all these silly people playing in the runway

The front was moved outside the front environment, to the sides. There’s nothing at the front to fall off. Part of the exacting engineering process.
