This is an eyewitness statement watching the plane arount at 6.25 est time:
1. The plane was tilting left side that the letter LION was clearly visible.
2. The nose cockpict was pointing UPWARDS.
3. There was BLACK SMOKE coming out from near the wheels.
4. There was a hole on the plane (?)
5. The engine noise was some one not loud and strangely "broken"
What does this tell us if it were true?
Simple: Turbine failure cause by shattered blades!
1. Any blades fracture would disintegrated the whole engine into pieces at about 20K RPM.
2.Some of the catastrohic debris might hit the body plane itself and cause punctured.
3. The black smoke would confirm such hypothesis, a hydraulic failure would never cause any smoke.
4. Pilot tried to balance the doom plane by pointing the plane upwards but the thrust was not available.
5. Electrical short circuited cause by the catastrophic turbin blade failure would make the whole electrical,electronic and hydraulic dead as well.
6. It is very likely that only one turbine is remaining but the whole system was lost to control the descent.
7. At such low altitude which less than 5000 feet, the estimated 70 ton plane would not have the time to do any meaningful repair.
8. Pilot and crew would prioritize saving the plane and passenger instead of radioing a may day.
