I've just been having a look at the pictures which have been coming in 
from the news helicopter, and it is very close to the canal and 
Colwich Lock.  In fact, the lock is clearly visible in lots of the 
shots.  Haven't heard anything about the canal being closed, though.

On this Google maps shot, the crash site is just between the two 
railway lines:  http://tinyurl.com/7lvyvl
