The aircraft came down in a field alongside a DHL depot, about 2 kms south of runway 28 centreline with an estimated heading of between 150-180 degrees.
It appears as though it departed runway 28,developed some kind of problem and impacted having turned left through approx 100-130 degrees.
It may have been steered to avoid the DHL complex, thus saving many lives of DHL employees.
Low level power cables were hit just before impact.
No large pieces left and approx 100 metres from point of impact to last main wreckage.
I viewed the site just before dark next day,as was visiting DHL.
Very sad.
