This will make a good mayday episode!
I hadn't thought of that, but it would!

common guys, it flipped over in a terrible landing and did not even break up. that thing was amazingly strong.

The term junk was what got it there in the first place. You are correct in that there was no hull break, but if it would have had the instrumentation halfway modernized, the rough landing that started all that may not happened in the first place. That is old style seat of the pants flying and considering the wx, they were lucky to even get on the ground.
My definition of "junk" is perpetuated design incompetence. Take Airbus and the joystick control. That thing should have a condom on it..hahaha. Marked with a big red X.
Great luck that all were wearing seatbelts....and that the fire was contained so quickly......
