Luxembourg ceash

Two photographs in the Luxembourg press show the right tailplane and elevator almost intact. On the left side the tailplane appears to have been boken by impact damage at about mid point. the outer half together with parts of the elevator seem to have been twisted underneath and lie still partly attached to the inner part of the tail plane. The aircraft's wheels initially touched in a field about two meters before the road. After crossing the road the aircraft struck an embankment rising about two meters above the road and planted with trees and bushes. It is likely that the left tailplane was damaged by contact with the embankment or the trees. An arial view taken from a helicopter makes this clear.
