"slammed" into the ground, and "fell" from the sky. Thanks for posting. Knoxnews should hire a reporter.
 
Looks like the left prop was feathered and windmilling on impact, only two blades bent. No clue on the right prop, the tree did a good job of removing it from the wing during the landing sequence...

I suppose it's par for the course to hear descriptors like that from a news report but it doesn't make it any less obnoxious. Every time I read a report about a crash I cringe because I know I can expect ridiculous hyperbole.
 
The only thing I heard on the LiveATC feed is the pilot saying "8JR ain't gonna make it". Where did you hear about the fuel?
