Seemed to me the ac was at dang near full power skidding down the runway right up to the impact with the structure.

They landed long and fast, with no flaps or spoilers. Also, they hung in “ground effect” way too long. All of those made it damn near unstoppable once it reached the runout.

If the last 4 minutes was missing and the aircraft came in very very hot, that could suggest that the black box stopped recording 10-15 miles from the airport.

Reports say no flaps, no spoilers for landing. The pilots had it pointed at the runway and it sounds like the aircraft went totally dead 10-15 miles from the airport.

Catastrophic failure in every system at the same time seems impossible.
