Debris fields showing a very small spread. Aircraft seems to have come down in one piece on a roof top leaving the rear 3/4 pretty intact with the front portion breaking off and falling to the ground (10m to 12 m). Fire damage to the rear outer portion is not too much

Initial look is that the Prop seems to be intact and the blades folded back but all attached. Maybe a sign that it was not working.

While there was a fire it was brief and put out fast so not sure if there was too much fuel on board.

From the looks of the wreckage all damaged caused due to impact with buildings, level orientation of aircraft indicates it was gliding in at time of impact. An eyewitness claims he saw it circling as it came down.
