Old Fokker guy,
You forgot to mention that this witness/passenger hailed the pilot for his skills. And there are more.
I started my translation-post by stating I was only posting the relevant parts of the interview. Relevant as in contributing to shed some light on what could have caused this fatal crash.

I also left out that bit were this passenger stated that "he believed the pilot crashed deliberately in that field to avoid the motorway ahead" as this is also just his opinion not based on any facts. (Personally I find that statement somewhat contradictory to the events he described earlier, ie., the in his eyes normal descent/approach with the regular cabin/crew announcements and then the mere 7 - 10 seconds gap between the plane starting to sway [followed by the apparent application of full-throttle] and the ultimate crash.)
