Hi,
I tried to find some footages from the buildings on the right of the Mosquee but without success. This picture is clearly showing that the impact was before the Mosquee but it seems that nobody could film the whole scene at the right of this place (or it is masked by the vertical stab).


The inverted position of the vertical stab is confirmed by the cuttings in the vegetation which are all oriented in direction of the Airport (which is also not filmed). So I wonder if those buildings are not some kind of military installations forbidden to be filmed. (see below in yellow). If the road was aimed in place of the runaway, it might be possible that wings/landing gear hit those buildings. There is also some kind of empenage piece visible at the right corner of the mosquée.



The arrows below are indicating the orientation of the crash in direction of the Airport. Note the tail cone in the first pict, clearly visible in large plan above.
