Pause this video in a precise moment between 0:06 and 0:07 so that aircraft in fall (or rather its lights) can be seen shortly becore impact.

Observe the position of landing lights.

Conclude the bank angle being close to 90 degrees left, with a steeply negative pitch attitude.

Certainly no discussion of any "wing strike", the video clearly shows the severity of the situation.

For those who cannot watch videos, here's an annotated frame (screenshot):



Very tragic for everyone involved, may the deceased rest in peace. I've got a pal in that company (low hour F/O), could've been him.
