Nice pictures. Is it just me or does it really look as if the wings were blown off by a big BOOM?
That's a mighty big hole in the fuselage.

All I understand is that the airplane ran out of fuel and managed to land somewhere out of the city but it failed

You're not the only one to think that. The first thing I thought after seeing the images was that a big BOOM brought this thing down - not running out of fuel.
