Wow; Judging the second photo it is not 'just a nose dive in the grass', the entire landing gear sets are soaking grass fibers.
Groeten,

It's the former 9V-SFF, so a frame well known at AMS, back when Singapore still had 17 Freight-747's, rather than the current 7...

No pictures found yet showing "side-on" , but the back is probably broken.
Plus the two inner engines ripped off...
