The fuselage weighs a lot more than the wings. I think thats the reason for these wing up pics (RL and CoD).
Think of it as looking at a beached yacht.. all the weight is at the bottom, the wing would have generated some lift right up until the point the aircraft stopped moving too which may account for why the plane came to rest there like that (I'm ignoring the fact that it's not 'real' btw).
