Just read a basic report supposedly from one of the pilots on social media... please don't shoot the messenger. Was a few mins ago on twitter and I can't find it right now but this is roughly what it said.

During the flare an updraft caused the a/c to float past the end of the TDZ, G/A initiated with positive climb and gear up however speed then rapidly decayed below the top of the amber band due windshear. Windshear procedure was 'done' however the a/c then crash landed. Mayday declared at this stage and evacuation initiated.
