A normal landing in a B777 is distinctly nose up. I wouldn't like to
wheelbarrow one of those.

The only eyewitness statements that I'd rely on at this point is that it
came over the boundary fence very low, and that it crashed. A private
pilot waiting in the car park said he saw it banked at 45 degrees. I
have a hard time believing it was banked that far over - the passengers
would have said something, and the outcome would have been quite
different.
