Debris field is small and not linear. I suspect the aircraft spun in, nose down or even a flat spin. Oddly the Piper Sport is placarded for “no intentional spins.” This makes me ask the question, why?
I have not flown this aircraft thus am not an expert on it. My comments are just casual observation. I welcome comments from pilots that have flown this aircraft.

It should be turned over to developers to build businesses and homes, but the neighbors will fight that because they don't want the increased traffic.
In the past they would want a park put there, which would be a net tax spender rather than generator, but because of the homeless problem, they won't want a 24/7 open drug market near their homes.
How about a drag strip? /s
