There is a strange contradiction in the crash site pictures.
The length of the debris field seems what one could expect from an aircraft crashing at climb-out speed.
However the picture of two engines sitting side by side and both pointing the same direction implies low fwd speed.

The fact that all three engines seen in the pictures show little to no rotational damage has me puzzled.
Even at idle RPM I would expect to see more damage done, either by flattening of the fan case on impact, or by dirt and debris being ingested.

The cockpit interior pictures are a grim reminder of what Murphy will do given the oppertunity.

Thoughts with all affected
