At least we heard three survivors say the same thing on various Turkish TV this afternoon.
They were in final approach, all of a sudden they felt a big drop, and they hear the engines rumbling to almost full power.
One survivor thought that they were going to do a GA with that much engine power, but he said then the plane landed on the mud. Now an engine cannot create that noise without fuel right.
One of them said that he thought that they just had a bad landing at the moment of the impact.
Say they ran out of fuel earlier in the descent. Each survivor says everything was normal until
impact. One specifically said that he was watching the flight info on the overhead displays, which means there still was power generated, which means there was fuel flow to the engines.
The flaps are set to 40. One normally would go to flap 40 setting around 1000-1500 ft. Thus, I suspect both engines were running normally until that last 1000 ft. I think these pilots could have glided the plane down even if there was full loss of power.
The drop. And a slow impact. So unexpected loss of airspeed. That's where we should
capitalize on, if you want to continue speculating.
