I have interpreted the parallel tracks that appear to begin immediately in front of the berm and continue up it to have been made by the two fuselage bogies. Is this correct? If so, the wheels must have contacted the ground before the berm and rolled up (and over?) it. Correct? Those bogies are at the mid-section of the fuselage. However, Bill Fowler stated (I don't think he was speculating) that the tail section hit the berm, so presumably it was dragging. I would have thought the top of the berm would be heavily damaged but it doesn't look like it to me. Were repairs made to the berm immediately following the crash and the photo was taken subsequently?
It does look like they weren't even barely airborne at the berm.
