You're so far off base it's not even funny. They didn't LAND on the street, they CRASHED and there just happened to be a street under them. That is after breaking out of low clouds in a 30 degree bank that increased to somewhere around 45 degrees, they then clipped powerlines, rolled back to the right at about 70-80 degrees, the wing impacted the ground and the aircraft exploded.
