The video is hard to see exactly where the separation is but I would point out that the engine here is on top of the wing at the wing root. An uncontained engine explosion would have an extremely negative effect. You also would have a prop that is spinning and would separate and by centrifical force may well do sustantial damage to the wing root. Fire would or could complete the job and disable control.
This senario would have little to do with the age and more to do with the design. We will be able to get some info on this realtively quickly as the aircraft remained largely in tact.
