A curiously narrow impact area for an ATR. I'd have expected to see wider tree clipping from the wings in a wings-level CFIT.

Could they have seen the terrain at the last second, pulled up too hard, stalled and rolled to wings vertical and nose down - similar to the final moments of the videoed ATR that crashed in Taipei?
