The debris field looks too wide for a mountain impact.

Is that based on personal expertise?

I've seen car wrecks at about 1/3 the speed that have scattered parts for a quarter mile and of course 3 times the speed is 9 times the energy.

Take a look at the pics from flight 96 that crashed in PA. It’s what I’m using as a reference. Both planes augured in. 96 exploded in a compact area, this one shows no explosion on the ground where the impact occurred.
