Something that passed through my mind too. I haven't heard what they mean by head-on. From the live press conference when the discovery was made, somebody was explaining how this was a flat area and not really the side of a mountain.
I let it pass thinking I might hear more.
Edit: Here's a bit of understatement from the NTSB for the sake of legalese.
