I'm not sure how that would be consistent with the crew "not noticing anything wrong". (Not saying that this isn't true, just it's inconsistent with the reported crew "relaxed position" about nothing being amiss.

So the scenario is the aircraft somehow gets upset at rotation (seat movement, whatever) and ends up being far too low and rips out the belly on the antennas, then the crew yanks back and presents the belly to the wall/fence? Except there's photos purporting to show elements of the fence (atop the wall) embedded onto the gear struts. So the gear hit something roundabout then too... I think "they were damned lucky" is about all we can really conclude!
