Holy shit they were going fast... at the very least you know nobody suffered.

    And they didn't take anything or anyone with them. I'd attribute that to the pilots, as I know that's always a goal to minimize what happens if a crash is unavoidable, but I think in this instance they didn't have any control at all at that point, so it was just luck.
