Sorry to see this but its not surprising. Biggest problem with planes of this era is that their engines just were not developed very well. Even in WW2 engines were replaced after 25 hours on some birds.
At least the pilot is ok...

That really sucks, but sounds like the pilot will heal. Wonder what they'll do next....
