The plane took a lightening strike while in flight and lost most/all electrical system.

It was not on fire during the approach to land. Fast approach speed with high sink rate caused a porpoise bounce, and on the second bounce, the main landing gear failed and punctured the fuel tanks.

It was still going quite fast down the runway and the streaming fuel ignited.

There is video of this happening.
