I am still puzzled about what caused this incident.

Looking at the photo in Post #1, and according to all news accounts, the passengers were disembarking, obviously through the front door, when the aircraft tipped. So their movement would have been forwards, tending to depress the aircraft nose. No?

And the only baggage handling equipment seen in the photos is working at the very rear of the plane, also reducing the weight in the tail, assuming they are unloading bags.

I must be missing something!!
