What's more from that picture ...


So in yellow the initial tail strike
And in green the tail mark as forward fuselage section + left engines drift to the right on wall upper section




Also the foam shape around the aircraft makes me think that #3 ENG did not shut down right after the crash and probably produced enough thrust to displace the tail in its final position ...

Did you notice the nose gear just forward #4 ENG ?
