I'm impressed that they all got out alive from that crash. What is clear is that there was a lot of disturbance of the wreckage during the search and freeing of casualties. The same is probably true for most crashes where there might be the possibility of survivors. That makes any reconstruction of the incident more difficult for investigators.

Where I saw a possible similarity is in initial contact by a wing with the ground. Also the increasing angle as the aircraft climbed out from the runway and control was lost.

While it might not be possible to make direct comparisons between the two crashes, the video gives an indication of the sorts of time scales involved and what a witness to the original crash might have seen.

Other than that, I agree with you megan.
