from the air, second of two batches

more from the air, different viewpoint and camera, same favored source:

























The observer made these comments based on cumulative personal site viewing:

First: It looks like the parallel marks that originate from the impact point could actually have been left by the fuselage itself sliding on the sand, then upon hitting the slightly elevated perpendicular road, the tail shears, the rest "trampolines" up and the destruction sequence begins as already amply and expertly described.

Second: the field of debris, although thinning out, seems to extend all the way to the final resting place of the wings.

Third, short of the wings resting place it seems to be a part of some size and bulk. I leave to the experts on the A330 to try to identify it.
I, personally, am not a pilot, but am attempting to assist as an intermediary.
