The tail of the aircraft can be seen in the first frame, just above the flat-topped post.

Go to the MSNBC site and click the start button to see the sequence. When the sequence ends, place your cursor on the frame indicator, that moved along the bottom.

Holding the button, reverse the frame switch backwards to the beginning, then to the right one frame.

Going back and forward like this, will show the vertical tail fin behind and above the post top and a trail of dust from the aircraft sliding along the ground.

The next frame is AFTER impact, the tail fin is gone and there's a dust trail up to the flame front, which does not show in the frame before, just grass.
