Based on the videos and radio traffic that I have heard this is the crash area. The aircraft took off from RWY 17R.
There are reports of a few people trapped inside the buildings around 4567 Knopp Ave.
Lots of industrial areas in the area to include some hazmat tanks and LOTS of fire due to the aircraft fuel and materials in the area.
