Read a lot of absolute nonsense here, as usual... MS Flight sim pilots please refrain from contributing.

My very limited observations tell me the following:

1) Weather conditions and Airfield point to an ILS RWY 18R approach.
2) Plane hit the ground where its normal height should be around 350'
3) Aircraft position/condition from the pictures SEEM to point to a low-speed impact, high pitch-up condition. This COULD be a result of a wing-stall at low altitude
4) It SEEMS that no Urgency/Emergency call was made, which makes a fuel starvation scenario as suggested unlikely.
5) 3 persons in the cockpit can mean the following: a) Training flight new First Officer b)Training flight new Captain (upgrade or on-type) c) Line-check
d) Cabin-crew on the jumpseat. options a,b,c leads to more experience on the flight-deck than usual, option d might point to a possible distracting factor.


Let us focus on the facts and act like professional officers please, we are also being watched by the media on this site and can do without wannabe's pretending to be flightcrew.
