The close ups show that the R1 door gert bar is in the disarmed postion, with the aircraft that close to soil(post crash) it would not make a lot of difference either way, the aircraft appears to have landed with low forward airspeed and tail first resulting in a cantilever nose pitch down, this would be arrested by the gear/engine pods, before they detached likely causing the shear line forward of the wing, with the forward section then impacting the ground and the upward damage aft of cock pitt area.

Someone appears to be sat next to the wing using a mobile phone.

It won't be a no fuel situation, birds are posible but unlickley at 10:30 local, dusk dawn are the main risk at AMS

This has the hallmarks of being very slow and at the back of the drag curve for what ever reason
