Just on CNN with John King interview of crash survivor.
Says the aircraft seemed very high on approach from his view in the window then a sharp downwards correction was made then he heard the engines rapidly spool up as it impacted.

Lots of witnesses are saying the aircraft had high pitch attitude at impact. So sounds like they tried to go around but very very late.

Of course their stable approach criteria must have been out the window way before that.

So that probably eliminates a fuel problem ie. like the BA 777 in London.

Anyway I shouldn't have added to this. I just said don't speculate in my previous post.
The NTSB report will give us better story.
