Yes, sir.
I THINK the AC went down nose first. Or almost.
I'm not a fortune teller, but worked in SAR all of my life and the damage showed in the wings pics say (to me) the AC dived in the sense of movement, nose first.
Unfortunately we haven't more data (i.e. the cockpit section, which is TOO strong in the Tu-154) but the flaps 100% retracted and the short time of flight tell me the PiC couldn't do much to keep the bird in a rather normal order of aviate.
I suppose that in SECONDS (because the bird was seconds airborne) the commander and FO could do little to correct the possible mistakes (if were mistakes, of course). I don't discard a technical failure, but those flaps...
