Thanks, Bill, for the link.
Looks like Steve shed both wings (at least one in
the tree) which may have contributed to his survival - interesting no indication
of fire.
I remember when Finn Lassen went into the
trees at Shady Bend, he lost his wings, that - and his fuel tank and engine
sheared off the fuselage and became a fireball a few yards in front of seat
in which he was suspended upside down a few feet off the ground - all which
undoubted contributed to his miraculous survival.
