KS, not CA...
And you're right, it's amazing there were only minor injuries. One of the pictures makes it look like the airplane is pretty well wadded up, the others don't look quite as bad.

Don't usually get details like that on a first-day-news account, pretty interesting. Glad they "mostly" walked away.
