VERY interesting! A lot more damage than was apparent in the long-distance
photo, but all concentrated on the outboard wing. However, there were no good
shots of the rest of the underside of the airplane.


I think it *did* hit from above the wing. WIth the flight path we saw
in the videos, it probably came in from the side, aiming at that
outboard engine, and the tip of the wing got in the way.
