Bergie, to be accurate the school fence is around 1,428 meters from the upwind threshold - the aircraft struck the ground around 1,375 meters from the same datum and came to a stop around 1,445 meters upwind of the threshold. Total ground distance around of around 70 meters. Thanks to the pallisade arrestor barrier and what (I believe) will be shown to be a relatively low forward speed.
