Unclear how much damage is done from firewall back. FAA has no
released the scene yet. The engine was running and prop was bent.
has some insurance, but not enough I'm sure...
Sad day...

Oh, Kim, that's really sad.
Please forward my compliments and thanks to Josh for putting the plane
down as well as he could. That reflects well on all pilots.
Is there any damage from the firewall backward?
How about the engine? Was it running when the props hit the ground?
The ground looks soft, perhaps the engine will survive without damage.
It's possible that the plane will fly again. Did you have adequate
hull
insurance or had your disability made it impossible to be adequately
insured?
I REALLY hope you can get it fixed and fly again. Don't make firm
negative decisions too fast.
