Glad to see the pilot walked away from this!

I'm very glay too read that the pilot walked away from that! But how could he have survived that carnage?

CAP232 I think - pretty strong aeroplane in which the pilot sits quite low.

Given that the wheels have mysteriously disappeared I'd imagine that it actually landed upright and came to rest inverted rather than 'landed upside down'
