Luxembourg crash

I know the area of the crash site as I live in Luxembourg. The road that they scraped across is in line with or closely parallel to the final approach path. I notice from pictures that the aircraft crossed the road at about 45%. This would be consistent with the failure of the starboard engine causing a vere to the right at a stage when the pilots were probably in full imc. I agree that the conditions of the starboard prop seems consistent with striking the ground while not under power. Of course no more than speculation and i'm sure the black boxes will soon provide the investigating team with the real state of the engines. Although the pictures from the rear were not all that clear I could not see extended flaps. Has any one any better views of this?
