In addition to the usual lift/sink on short final you get a little turbulence just before you set down from the warehouses to the left.
It's been a while since I've flown from MB, but aren't those warehouses you refer to at the other end of the field (prior to d/w threshold of RWY 35 ?)
Sad to hear that the C172 was a write off ... it makes you wonder how on earth did they get that QF1 744 (which ran off the runway at BKK) flying again.
