TK1951 flight impacted hard with substantial hull rotation at impact, but the fuselage stayed relatively intact.
TK1951 came down with a speed of approx 100kts in a moist dirt field. Seen by the length of the debris trail of this crash, you can easily make out that the velocity of the aircraft was a lot greater. What i also noted was the fact that the engine found had no engines blades left what so ever. I would presume this to be because the engine was giving a high amount of thrust (i.e. TO/GA).

C-SAR, thanks for the great time you have taken with the images!!!
