I have no idea. There are too many crazy things that happened. Hopefully, the investigation will eventually find out

FYI, the landing gear can be dropped without hydraulics, it can be dropped manually by pulling one handle for each of the 3 gear.

That would indicate that they overlooked/forgot the landing gear deployment. Had to have been a frantic cockpit, that’s for sure.
