There is a picture out there that shows the front prop laying on the ground, looked like the blades were feathered. Not flat relative to the flange.

I pulled this off of a news cast video where the prop was shown.

Agreed that it looks feathered. Given that they were very low starting a few miles out I wonder if he had fuel issues and fixated on the front. He wasn't on comms after the last routine call in (as I recall), and one engine should have been more than enough to come in fairly normally.

Think most survived, so I'm surprised there isn't a more definitive update. Guess once the news gets old for earth-bound folks it's up to the NTSB to get more info.
