What happened then?

Guys,
from the metar/Taf there where no evidence of gusty winds/strong winds so we can exclude windshear.Probably they where in IMC Wx conditions before they crash but an EGPWS call "Pull up terrain" should have save them from crashing so we can exclude that as well. Bird strike with double flame out on final is so rare and anyway they should be reports of birds activity in the ariport area and they are not.
May be they had a fuel leak but the FMC should have alert them about insufficilent fuel and for sure they would have declare an emergency in Schipol area to be first in Approach. So what do you think guys?
