The main witness revealed that the plane came down with one wing down and the other up. He was the 1st one to approach the debris and there wasn't any signs of life.

The plane might have been on base and turning onto final, thus the slower wing stalling 1st. EDIT: There is no base on a non-circling IFR approach.

The plane has an approach speed of 230 km/hr or 140 mph. A fast airplane for its weight.
