Apparently you and I weren't looking at the same video, because the one I was looking at didn't show a wing snapping off.
The pilot of this airplane obviously made a hell of a bad decision to not push the go levers forward after floating more than 1/3 down the runway. But we don't know what he was doing on the wing. Perhaps he was helping passengers evacuate, who knows. I don't, and I seriously doubt anybody here does either.
I'm not implying I saw a wing snap in the video, I am just pointing out that
if the wing was filled with fuel, there
could be a hazardous situation. I wrote that comment in response to a query concerning the dangers involved when standing on a wing, (especially after an incident).
