Looks survivable to me. If you walk away from it, it was a successful landing or abrupt stop in this case.

A Navy friend of my Dad's used to say that any landing you can walk away from was a good one.  And that all carrier landings are nothing more than controlled crashes.  Your tax dollars at work...!!!

My Father was a Navy pilot, and always used to say that the first rule of flying is - landings must equal take-offs.
In this case, I think the pilot was just directed to the wrong branch LOLof the runway (ya think?).

This has been bugging me and I finally found some more background on the picture.
 
This was as recent as December 7, 2006: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/10486853/detail.html
 
Also check out the write-up at the bottom of this page:  http://www.meadowlakeairport.com/INDEX2.html
 
 
So as Paul Harvey would say: "There's the rest of the story...."
