Deviation to the left

VanHorck and PJ2 (posts #771 and 772)

The El Mundo graphic shows a deviation to the left before veering off to the right. First time i heard that one! Deviation to the left due to the left engine failing and over-correction to the right leading to touching the right wing briefly as often stated?
There is a claim by a distant observer, reported in post #202, that dust was being raised from the ground on the left of the runway before the first grounding of the right wing. Whether reflecting reality or otherwise, that report may underly graphics that show an initial deviation to the left.
