Glad there was no fatalities ion the crash, but I have never seen a 72 before. Holy molly look at those engines! Almost like the plane has a hunched back. Impressive design.
And makes handling on un paved runways doable.
The engine placement helps with STOL performance by increasing lift due to the blown area above the wing. The Boeing YC-14 used a similar design.
