For what its worth, it was an autoland attempt.
The airplane experienced a massive tailwind gust just before minimums and pitched down to pick up profile. The A/P was disconnected below minimums to pitch back up for the flare and was too late. Rest all on video.
Of course this is just what the lil birdie tells me...
