Almost nothing about that video passes the smell test. Just a couple
of observations:

1) The wing root that's exposed just before the airplane turns around
on the runway has no broken spars sticking out of it. Instead, it
shows two nice round holes -- which looks just like the wing root of
an RC model. In this model class, the wings are connected to the
fuselage by aluminum tubes that telescope into fiberglass tubes built
into the structure.

2) After the airplane stops, it sits dead level on the gear, even
though there's ostensibly a few hundred pounds of wing missing from
the other side.

Plus which, neither video shows a single frame of the "damaged"
airplane after the incident.
