Does anyone know if the airplane came to rest pointing in the landing direction or not? I cannot figure how a hard CFIT type of crash could end up with the top of fuselage so badly damaged and at the same time the u/c unscathed. If the nosewheel collapsed and then the plane went over on its back then we would reasonably expect to see a badly damaged nosewheel and maybe also some bending of the main legs
As said, now being reported on Irish radio that right wing contacted the ground. Possibily this inverted the aircraft into the position it ended up in.
