If gear is down, as the earlier Dutch video suggests, first impact must be either tail of nose of aircraft. If it was level, tracks would have been visible either side of the point of impact. The cactus is cut more horizontally than C-SAR red line on the image suggests. Look at the cactus to the right of the line and you see the cut is almost horizontal. The cut cannot be by the wings, as the engines would have left a great big mark on the sand either side of the point of impact. It seems that C-SAR's suggestion that the first impact was caused by tail is most plausible. Further, pilot must have applied full power to recover as the position of the detached wings suggests great force applied to them. The ~8 second lag before engines respond sealed the fate of the plane. The power came online as the body hit the ground or thereabout and made the impact much worse. In soft sand, without power applied, the aircraft would have slowed considerably and may have saved some lives as it came to the road at a much reduced speed. It hit the road at high speed and completely disintegrated next to the mosque.
