Have you looked at the area before impact, and is there any evidence of engine thrust? Blown sand, blown-over trees or whatever?
I did and I didn't see anything that looked like relevant (but it does not mean that they are not there..). The tracks visible from the overflight video before the impact point are of a makeshift road. A car is also visible and the white marks further on are just left overs from previous buildings. The google map being old(er) shows buildings that are not there.

To All:
Thanks for your thanks but please stop doing it... no mention no attention...

On a more general point, all of you familiar with accident investigations will agree with me that I was lucky to have a peek at the site. In the large scheme of things, mine was just a blink of an eye. I know that I have missed 80% or more of the clues and information that is there. Of course a peek is better than nothing, but please do not loose the perspective that I could (and probably am) wrong in some of my assumpitons due to the limited time to properly analyze the information.

Thanks. C-SAR
