I don't really know the details of how the plane actually hit the ground but it seems like it would have hit relatively flat and skidded absorbing some of that impact rather than driving down into the ground.
Mainly though I just hate flying and always delude myself into think once it's descending/lower to the ground it's a lot safer and this crash is interfering with my delusion, ha.

The plane hit trees and buildings. A wing clipped the ground and ignited the jet fuel into an explosion. There wasn't much they could do.
People have survived crashes right after takeoff before. Like DL 1141 in 1988.

Artists drawing of how the plane crashed, fuselage broken in half, and then skidded 4 blocks with a huge ball of explosion.
