CNN just showed video of the actual crash. Severe porpoise on landing, severe nose first landing and another bounce with roll left, left wing sheared off during roll with subsequent fireball resulting - aircraft continues out of camera FOV.

It looks like the plane came to rest on its back, I hope everyone was able to get out ok. The cockpit looks as though it is entact. News reports there may have been high winds...CNN reports 2 on board, and that "1 person was taken off the plane"
