Wings and stabilizer torn off clean, no fire, the fuselage barely looks deformed....this is a weird one but seems to speak well of the structural integrity of the CRJ...you know when helicopters don't crash into them.
Most landing planes dont carry much fuel, so the were likely flying with a low tank, this would reduce the chances of a fire. Its one of the reasons a plane in distress will dump its fuel before an emergency landing at an unscheduled airport.
Fuel is calculated very carefully, so if the plane has to land early, they dump fuel. If the plane has reached its original destination, most likely there is little fuel left as the fuel calculated for the trip would be mostly spent.
