Does anybody else notice a lack of "obvious" fire damage? I don't see much in the way of scorched grass or as much burnt wreckage as you might expect. Is anyone able to make a educated guess at the fuel load at the time of the incident? Obviously there is evidence of small fires in places. I agree the engines don't appear to have much of the "rotary" damage you would expect if they were at full power as the went in.

Regardless, a major incident, amazing the crew were able to escape, and with a mercifully small loss of life on the ground. One would have to presume the crew did their best to choose an empty spot as best they could, I suspect t could have been alot worse, as I can see more buildings in the background of some of the other shots.
