Looks like the tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) hits the top of a building then the wing clips a car/van/bus.

News reports say 23 out of 58 on board were killed. How the other 35 survived is miraculous.

Wasnt that due to faulty wiring in the cockpit telling the pilots the wrong engine had failed ?
