Towbar failure

If the towbar failure was the trigger for the accident then it must have been in compression, ie pushing on both ends... perhaps not entirely along the axis.

After that the plane must have moved forwards to hit the tug. Also the fact that the nosewheel is pointing straight ahead seems important
