F-50 down in Luxembourg

Just heard on the radio that an F-50 of Luxair has crashed in fog at Luxembourg airport.
Reports are that 16 of the 22 on board are feared dead.

Pure speculation and conjecture at this early stage,
but saw a photo of the wreckage and out of the f/o's window was hanging the oxy mask.
IF he was wearing it at this late phase of approach to land,
the only reason would be some sort of smoke and fire?

Pure speculation I know but with the pics showing the rh propeller undamaged it would seem that rh engine might not have been operating normally during the final stages of the flight.
