Notice how the wings are bent forward from the force of the impact. Amazing that it is recognizable at all as an aircraft.

I'm not an expert, but it looks strange to me - as if it were blown in place as opposed to flying across the sky at 450 knots and then crashing scattering debris for a mile or more. No tracks, debris running into the crash site and no extended line of burn because of fuel oil being scattered during a crash.

In a more vertical crash, nose down for example, tends to leave more of a crater with aircraft parts buried in or near the crater.

What say you?
