The odds of another aircraft holding short with a pilot recording the landing of #DL4819 …wow
Another footage from inside a vehicle of the Endeavor Air CRJ-900 accident landing, the break-up of the right wing and the ensuing flip-over.

The Challenger got front row seats for the emergency response 😳
For me, the plane did bank a little to the right, but I'm wondering if the snow played a part (i.e. piled too high on the side of the runway, wing tip hit the snow), they may have been off centre, it certainly appears to hit snow before the wing breaks.
It does appear to me that a higher sink rate develops at the last moment. I don’t see anything about the snow that would be even remotely contributing, and not sure whether you’re seeing snow or smoke at the wingtip.
The focus will likely be on what happened in the last 3-5 seconds and why the sink rate increased.
Even so, with numerous FAA directives about PED use, even on a part 91 gig I’d probably only release it to the NTSB.
In any case the video will be very helpful.
Also, to my untrained eye it looked like that plane was coming in fast?
Not so much of a Glide slope as fell out the sky?
That landed very heavily, I'm not surprised the suspension gave out?
