Re. the drawings copied by
jcjeant from a thread on
WWW.CRASH-AERIEN.AERO: some people on crash-aerien seem to elaborate on these pictures, so before someone does the same on PPRuNe, it is probably worth precising that as far as I understand, they have been realized by the poster (dreamy) using an Autocad station, and do not originate from BEA. Only the background image showing the debris field is BEA's work.
So we probably can't infer anything from the eastern position of the plane on these images or from the big red arrow suggesting an east-west trajectory at impact time.
