  • It doesn't look like the right location when I look at the photos from the news reports.
  • What I mean is that there is a small building and a service road near where the plane came to a stop and I don't see that in this Wikimap.
  • That's due to the age of the satellite photo. That building is relatively new as it was built just after the large runway to the left of the crash, which is also not able to be seen. You have to go off of the terrain and the location of the service road. Also, you can see where the plane cross path that is visible in some photos as being in front of the building was being built.
