The Cpt. said "Wow. I turn off the wrong engine." It's sad to hear the Cpt. said that on the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder).

If you look closely, you’ll notice the plane’s tail also seems to strike the bridge and do actually, most of the major damage.

If the people in the taxi were just a few feet closer their heads would’ve been gone
