Everyone survived the crash; but the bird burned after the "hard landing".
There is a video on the link below.

Birds are old, and need to be replaced or upgraded (like the Marines did)

The postflight fire makes me wonder if the had a fuel leak.

 

[amlove21]

Dude, the entire airframe is a fuel leak.

Curious to see the cause of the crash. Maintainers do a lot of hard work keeping those aircraft up, no matter what the age.
