Sketch of crash site

The following two sketches were from an NTSB form that,...

"Show distribution of major components, ground and aircraft components involved in fire, obstacles struck, occupants, wind direction and velocity vectors, magnetic north. Sketch is "NOT TO SCALE" and distances are approximate."

...or so it was put at the top of the document.

Pre-Crash Situation

From left to right, this "pre-crash" sketch says: "Reproduction of photograph taken as the aircraft made repeated low passes over the bus and residence." - "Back of Greyhound type bus facing east." - "West side of Georgian style residence. 2 car garage (attached)."

Post-Crash Circumstances

From left to right (top to bottom I think,... you figure it out!) in this "post-crash" sketch,... it says:

"NOTE: Inboard portion of left wing with the landing gear and the empennage were found outside the garage against the north wall. The major portion of the wreckage was found inside the garage, entering through the roof."

"6 foot diagonal slash on upper left side of bus"

"Outboard 6 feet of left wing." (bottom left)

"Severed tree. Wreckage debris." (Bottom, center)

"Extensive fire damage in garage and throughout the residence. Wreckage debris inside garage - 2 automobiles destroyed."
