wow. Still a mystery why it flipped. Seemed a perfect approach, but it did seem to have a hard landing & it looks to me like the undercarriages collapsed. An absolute miracle it never caught fire, everyone would have perished if it had.
Big fireball too. When it came to rest it was upside down & everyone was - literally - hanging by their seatbelts.
No indications anything was wrong during approach, & then suddenly, everything went wrong.
It might have been wind shear just as the plane was touching down, caused the hard landing and gear collapse and the resultant flip. Sadly there's been a few mishaps recently, time will tell what caused them.

PS - only one wing came off I believe.
