Cartwheels, I have no idea..I assume if that happened the death toll would be considerably higher..I think the most logical scenario is what the woman said her father conveyed to her, the pilot screwed up..he went too low and tried picking up the plane, the tail hit the runway causing it to crash and catch fire

You assumed right, SB. Steve86 just explained that it did a “horizontal groundloop”, meaning it spun horizontally on the ground. That certainly sounds less stressful to those onboard than having it cartwheel!
