Some notable points in those (and other) photos:
- right wing is rotated back and under the fuselage (in bottom picture post #2 of man crouching, he's almost "sitting" on the leading edge)
- bottom of garage door smashed in, yet wing is still 6-8 feet in front of it (firemen cut it open to get a stream on the fire? Wing hit door and bounced back?)
- no gouges or other marks at all on asphalt street
- aircraft nose appears to have penetrated a large living room window - which may have saved the rest of the wall structure.
- front porch, except for burn-through, seems to be structurally complete. Aircraft went in "under" it without contact.
- there appears to be one small notch cut in the roof edge of the garage across the street, visible in post #11 photo, in line with final aircraft position. A bigger version of that same photo shows the notch more clearly, with broken shingles scattered down the roof below it. Yet the chimney 10-15 feet left, and taller, seems untouched.
