We have a FR24 for a flight on runway 12 on the new airport that goes over the old airport .

The difference is that this is coming from the left while the crash flight is coming from the right . Both would mean getting over the old airport .

He is too much above the old airport and old runway is visible the whole time straight ahead and pilot have eyes on the new airport during the downwind , base phase .
As per the witness , he has seen other runway 12 approach from his house , at the point the video starts , the plane should have entered approach but surprised him that it continued on base . That would mean : We have either
A . overshooting aircraft and need to turn more for approach , > Resulting in stall
B . Fixing the stall that happened earlier( By whatever reason, engine failure , circling approach stall,weight ) by straightening the wings thus overshooting the approach , putting in more power and causing a VMC roll .
My view is that the pilots are aware things have gone bad as they have missed approach due to stalling and crashed due to stalling or crashed due to vmc roll fixing the stall .
France24 fact checking on videos.
