Do we know if the gear was down?
Normally in accidents like they were do see parts ofn the gear in the side as its torn away, but in the pictures we have seen so far there is nothing to indicate that is was deployed and torn off.
This possibly points to 2 scenarios:
*Gear was not down and the crew were in real trouble.
*The a/c went stright into the ground with very little forward momuntum and the gears were burried.
