Chute deployed - possibly post impact? Unknown at this time.

Looking at the level of cockpit damage there really is no way the parachute
was deployed at a decent altitude, could have been after the fact. That
thing could of ran into a brickwall with the chute fully deployed and come
out looking better than that thing. Terrible deal.

I agree. It is hard to fathom that much damage from a chute-assisted
descent.
