My understanding is the empennage struck the seawall due to a short landing. Maybe I am wrong...
Heard it was descending at 1400 fpm right before impact so I'm thinking they didn't get the engine(s) to spool up when they needed it on short final... similar to what happened to that other 777 in London a couple of years ago?

Wow. This report says ice crystals formed in the fuel of the 777 crash in London. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_38
London had Rolls-Royce engines vs. this one had Pratt & Whitney engines. As far as I know none of the Pratt engines have had any of those issues.

Not looking good for the pilots here. Speculation on my part so stop reading now if you have a problem with speculation. Both the Glideslope and VASI were NOTAMed out of service. Combine that with an Asian carrier that rarely manually lands the plane by hand and I am going to say this one looks like pilot error. Basically, it is like trying to shoot an apple 200 yards out and looking through the scope but not having cross hairs at all.
