Yes, agreed. I was struggling with the location and apparent path of the wreckage compared to the reported take-off runway and runway intersection as another post also had. One or both pilots may have been taking collision avoidance action and aerodynamic forces after the collision would also influence path that -EDJ came down. The video footage referred to by ATSB likely makes it clear, but ATSB wrote -EDJ "had JUST taken off from runway 11" so doesn't sound like it had been in the air for long.
