This would suggest catastrophic engine failure as the cause, although there’s not enough information to be sure...

That’s a rational guess...

Most of the wreckage I saw in video was postage stamp sized. This was most probably controlled flight into terrain.

One engine. How many others?

Pretty sure a catastrophic engine(s) failure does not cause an aircraft to go into a near sudden vertical 90 degree nose dive into terrain.

It could also suggest a bomb. An engine can shear off due to g forces induced by out of control flight. A turbine can explode due to failure as has happened many times. The engine remains attached to the air frame. Only huge g loads will detach it which means total uncontrolled flight maneuvers.
