UPS crash (A300)

Birmingham was one of my stops for years, years ago.....The north south runway does have small hills on it.....Sad to say, at this point looks like night, 7,000 ft runway, crew just wanted to hit the numbers, but got the trees.....To early to say really....UPS have great crews, good training....Know few of their pilots there.....Scattered overcast, but ceiling was not that low really...light showers they reported also....NTSB says engines were ok, no other news as of yet....(according to boxes)
Since no radio statements to tower, or approach, leads one to think, just early morning TO LOW, hard to believe, hope am wrong! Either or anyway, we lost two pilots (RIP)
