Bomarc, correct. It might be useful to note that it's been raining since yesterday morning, heavily at times.

The gas station is south of the cargo depot. If you've looked at the Google image the building immediately south of the upright part of the "L" is a TAM garage where you can drop your car off and pick it up on return.

Eyewitness accounts, unreliable as they may be, say the aircraft did attempt to take off again. The aircraft had sufficient airspeed not to simply drop straight down onto the road - a taxi passenger describes it as having passed overhead, left wing having hit the TAM cargo buiding and exploding.
