Call me crazy, but that doesn't look right sitting on that truck...I mean the way it sitting looks like it could put some serious stress on the fuselage 'specially resting on it's belly like that...

Well when it is in the air, the weight of the aircraft is supported by the wing spars that go through that part of the fuselage.

Yea I realize that, it just looks strange sitting on its belly with the nose off like that...seems like the nose should be supported somehow.

They are almost certainly going to scrap it anyway. 50-seaters are only worth a couple mil used, probably cost more than that to fix.

That's what I thought too. They were thinking that it doesn't matter how they get it out bc it's totalled anyways...
