It does look similar...
However, a lot of the flaps and fairings that broke off had already been stolen from the place by the local "recyclers"... This is the difficulty on having a crash in a dense area... people control is hard.

PKU was a 732 at light weight with no flaps...
MES is a heavy 732... looks like a similar chain of events...

However, the compressors have now been deemed "deformed"... Looks like this is a combination of a few factors unlike LID in PKU which was relatively simple...

Re. the GA 733 river ditching... The NTSC report last time I checked wasn't released... Her drowning doesn't make sense as the plane rested on only knee deep water... Some said her jumpseat collapsed and she broke her back/neck when the aircraft impacted rock jutting out/near the surface... Oh well...
