Survivor reports feeling turbulence shortly before impact.

Eyewitness reports that aircraft flew 'unusually slow' in a very nose-high attitude before 'dropping straight down, hitting the ground tail-first'.

Unconfirmed report of engines not producing thrust on impact.

Tailsection looks very badly damaged indeed.
