[After the landing, rescue helicopters rushed to the scene. Plumes of smoke from a burning parachute rose from the capsule, which was lying on its side embedded about a foot into the ground.]

So, apparently, there's only one crater. Since we didn't see what actually happened, they may have rolled the capsule away from the fire(?!). When did the parachute catch fire (yikes). On NASA TV, Melenchenko described the landing as "interesting".
