A good evacuation. Can't see a single piece of hand baggage coming off.

Obviously the lateral structural limit of all 3 gear legs was exceeded, so that must have been one helluva swerve to accomplish that.

However, the good news is that they all sprinted/walked/were carried away alive so pass me another 'frame, this one has split.
