There’s a CRJ that’s ended up upside-down! Somehow, everyone has walked away. All passengers and crew accounted for.
No tail and the wings riped off…
Wife has declared that we aren’t flying anywhere this year…
Sounds like they all made it out, and only 8 injured.

It honestly sounds like a miracle. Already seen one video someone took from inside whilst hanging upside down 
Jeepers! Wonder what earth happened there; I can understand the tail / stabiliser departing the fix, but ripping off a wing is REALLY significant. Very, very lucky that the fuselage didn’t break up too.
Still safer than crossing the road to get to Waitrose… 
Not sure how good the ADSB data actually is, but shows -1000fpm at the airport altitude as the last record 
Also, for those more experienced than me, does the ‘any landing you can walk away from’ rule still apply here? 
Reports of 70 knot winds at the airport at the time.
I’m poor… so even safer.
Is it really walking away if you have to fall from the ceiling first?

Normally +/- 100 fpm? Even so, that would a pretty firm landing, the one where a pax getting off asks the pilots - “Where were the guns?”
Eh?
“The guns that shot us down!”
Did you try to do a barrel roll on the ground again?
Was the video not bad enough to be visible on reddit?

Certainly looks like a very high decent rate and hard landing.
ADS-B data posted elsewhere shows some large variations earlier in the approach but the ROD in the last stages looked pretty reasonable, reduced to about 500-600 fpm = quite normal. High air speed though, also with variations on the approach - not unusual if gusting / changing wind. Low groundspeed based on the very strong headwind.
Not an expert on interpreting the other data shown.
