Trying to understand what happened -
Eyewitnesses say that the aircraft was travelling eastbound
away from Battersea? Does this mean he never intended to land there?
If he was travelling eastbound then in relation to the above photo he should have hit the crane coming from somewhere to the left side of the building.
If that was so then I don't understand the position of the crash site because even if the aircraft was rotating (quite probable if the rotor had disintegrated) wouldn't the velocity of the aircraft have meant that the fuselage would keep going in roughly the same direction?
Unless he was at low speed or -
If the aircraft was westbound into Battersea as the illustration below suggests, then the crash site makes more sense - then why the eyewitness reports saying he was eastbound?
Rotorhead and parts on the road -
