Flight simulator flyby of suspected crash location

I made two flybys in the X-Plane flight simulator in an airplane of similar performance to give you an idea of the terrain of the probable crash location.

This is in no way intended to be representative of the actual flight path, only to give a rough idea of what the terrain is like, to the extent of X-Plane 10's global scenery resolution.

Part 1: coming in from the north

Part 2: coming in from the south

(The actual simulator ride is much smoother, but the video was recorded at lower framerate.)

If and when flight data recorder data will be published I will probably make an animation of the actual flight path.
