Slideshow of crash site. Tail? Over yonder....

From the shots it looks like they put it down where the tail separated and slid until the port outer was ripped off, whilst the aircraft spun and the cockpit section detached. hell of a landing at that weight and load. I have to be puzzled as to the lack of fire. Incredibly lucky if fully fuelled.
