Direction of landing

I don't think it landed on 09.

Look at the shots of the tail fin below - you can clearly see other aircraft parked on the apron, on the other side of the taxiway/runway, in the far background:



That surely means the crash site is on the northern side of the airport, not underneath the tower (which, like the apron, is on the south side).

It also suggests, from the debris trail in some of the panning video shots, that the aircraft would have landed on runway 27 - which makes far more sense.

Or am I just talking rubbish?
