Just69... Many thanks for the info. To my knowledge, this is the first instance that a Spanish newspaper clearly states that the flaps were not deployed on takeoff. I've not been able to find the Spanish text in the webpage of 'El Periodico de Aragon'. Could you please supply a reference?
Sure.

A reporter from that newspaper openly and publicly claims to have a copy of the Aena video and that he has personally inspected it frame by frame.

Sorry there are hardly any more new details or that most of the ones showing up lately only repeat what it has pretty much been established already. At least the "new sources" are not contradicting some of the important details (so far) and seem to corroborate them.

One last note: the CVR recording does show the sound of several impacts, which one can assume are from the fall and hits on the ground, and seems to have continued recording all the way to the final crash (as we know, some 1.5km away from the first contact with the ground).
