Whoa - crash landed, or crashed? The aircraft is lying upside down, is that possible for a crash landing?

Right wing is ripped off, so it is possible that the aircraft rolled right.

Right wing is ripped off, so it is possible that the aircraft rolled right.

"The AN-32 aircraft, while landing, appears to have dropped too quickly, bounced off the runway, and hit one wing against the ground. Since an AN-32’s wing also serves as the fuel tank, the aviation turbine fuel spraying around at high temperature set the wing alight --- forcing the passengers into an emergency evacuation while airport tenders fought the blaze. Some of the injuries caused by the crash are believed to be serious."

Maybe the pilots lost control before touchdown.
