From the look of those photos (can't see the videos from here due to firewall issues) I would suggest the impact was as near vertical as makes no difference - the momentum vector was straight down as witnessed by the very compact debris field and the (rather unusual) "trench" created by the wing impact.

Condolences to all with lost loved-ones.
