I have only one question remaining. Judging by the wreckage, it seems the aircraft arrived at the creek with a high rate of speed. How can a reportedly undamaged aircraft travel off runway for 1.5 km, and arrive at the end with such force? No wheel brakes? No spoilers? Seems to me that this is nearly as important as the initial cause(s). Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
