That makes the distance between wires impact and RR embankment critical. Unless the wires and RR embankment were co-located?
It's clear from the CAB report that they considered the right wing impact with the embankment to be the first impact, and the distance to the final site was 1200 feet. You or I might consider the wires to be the first impact, but the CAB apparently did not, and we're relying on their measurements.
