aircraft had no passengers but a crew of six including four pilots
Ah, the dreaded 4 pilot approach.......
and:
East Line says that the aircraft came to rest about 400-500m (1,300-1,650ft) from the runway
Not suprising that it broke up, then, was it?
Half a click from the end of most airport runways is likely to be full of non-tarmac related obstacles.
Glad that there were no fatalities.
