wileydog3, add to that a what appears to be significant drop from the runway to the rocky terrain (see pic from Spanish forum, see satellite imagery on Google Maps). There are two creeks that cross the terrain too, so there is some elevation between the runways and the natural terrain...

It is possible that the terrain may have had an impact on the rupture of the wings/fuselage.
