ayerpartiéndose

I was reading an article in a Spanish newspaper about the recent plane crash in San Andrés and I came across a word that puzzled me. I can't seem to find it anywhere else. I have a few ideas but am unsure about them. This is part of the sentence:
Un avión Boeing 737 con 131 personas abordo se estrelló ayerpartiéndose en tres pedazos cuando iba a aterrizar en una isla del norte de Colombia... Any ideas on what this means? Was there supposed to a be a space between ayer and partiéndose? Any help would be appreciated. Gracias de antemano.

Yes, there should be a space. - MacFadden, Aug 17, 2010

The editor is getting paid more than he's worth 
. Actually, it is two words: ayer and partiéndose, meaning yesterday and splitting into or breaking into: three pieces, aparently.

jejeje - we must have the same editor in our local paper. Or lack thereof. - revmaf, Aug 17, 2010
