Plane Crash Research

So this time round we have been set a 2 week assignment, in which to create a digital painting of a plane crash. However the specification is a little bit more specific than that, we are required to paint it so that the plane is an American Airlines Boeing 747 that has crashed into the lower east side of New York and somewhere in the scene is a man wearing a t-shirt and jeans in his late 30's with dark hair as a survivor of the crash.

Below is my collection of reference images.
