In this article linked earlier (Australian co-pilot Jeremy Webb escaped Emirates plane crash in Dubai) is a picture of the aircraft from behind showing clear damage at the tail indicating contact with the ground only possible I assume at higher pitch? I am not a commercial pilot but could that indicate that they were increasing pitch for a GA without enough thrust and then settled down tail first on the runway...?
