Nice one Doc.

Tid - it's ok to speculate in this instance, nobody was hurt and technically we all own a piece of this aircraft so we all have in interest in what happened to it

The spacing doesn't seem correct for the fence post theory. The "tearing" damage at the root of the wings puts the posts at only a couple of metres apart.

Note in the following pic that the posts are actually outside the wing tips which is confusing.

It gives the impression that the barbed wire fence has "captured" the front of the aircraft and tore off the engine but there seems too much damage

My best guess, 15-20 degrees descent angle at 100 knots, landing almost right on the fence.

There also appears to be a lack of skid-marks but hard to tell from the photos. The only skid-marks may be in the pants of the flight crew.



And this one? I think it would take more than a couple of fence posts to inflict that much damage!
