Clearly hit hard and early. Loss of lift?

@SpaceLifeForm I don't see where a wing could stall at such an angle of attack - at least at the right speed, the aircraft could also have been too slow and combined with a strong gust it could have easily thrown an aircraft a little over and make the already fast descending aircraft (due to low airspeed) hit the ground early and harder without a real impact for a flare...

Since there was no flare, they must have thought they had more altitude (too early to flare).
It is interesting that the altimeter uses barometric pressure. Strong winds can make the barometer read as lower pressure, hence concluding higher altitude.
Then when you add in poor visuals due to the blowing snow. it makes it more difficult to actually see if you are closer to the runway than expected.

@SpaceLifeForm hmmm don't modern aircraft switch over to radio altitude when approaching a runway or is that just an additional instrument shown in parallel to baroalt?
But yeah, good theory tho the decent rate must have been over 1000ft/min if not >1500ft/min for such excessive damage and forces to apply...

@SpaceLifeForm And generally such high decent rates require an immediate go-around by basically all procedures in the world (which may have been firgotten / overlooked by the faulty altitude readings or something else happening prior)...
I also would not rule out the possibility of a light windshear tho that would be rather unlikely due to (early) detection systems...

Things happened very quickly.
Did they apply the patch?

@SpaceLifeForm oh wow haven't heard of that one before, would be a wild cause for an accident or at least one hole in the cheese...
But how causes radio interferance a whole hydraulic system to fail??? And if #3 is part of the flight controls this could be why there was no flare - the pilots were simply not able to flare -

Many questions. Few answers.
@SpaceLifeForm we'll see what the preliminary report says...
