The second picture appears that the right side prop would hit the wreckage, also it appears the left side landing gear is not touching the ground. Our planes landed with massive damage many many times. I read of a b 17 that had so much damage to its tail that once it landed the tail actually fell off, being mostly held by the control cables and rods.
