Looking at the facts you can determine the aircraft landed in a nose high attitude, wings level or near level in the landing configuration, the engine fan blade condition is a pointer, but with so many varibles in an impact situation, it's hardly definitive proof of how much power was being delivered at time of impact. The debris field and gouging suggest a very low forward momentum, any Mode S data before impact could confirm this hypothosis. The fueslage breaking apart but remaining 'together' would also suggest to me a high vertical rate with low forward speed, classic stalled condition, r.e. Staines (different circumstances i know but broadly speaking the same outcome, no fire, tail seperation on impact, fuselage broadly intact)

Stall seems likely, but as I previously posted there must have been a chain of events to cause such an accident.
