What factors contributed to the aircraft landing upside down on the tarmac?

The incident appears to have occurred during challenging wind conditions, with a reported 27-knot crosswind approaching the aircraft's crosswind limit. Daniel Elwell noted that the aircraft impacted without performing a proper flare (the normal landing procedure of pulling back on controls to raise the nose before touchdown), while maintaining a bank angle to compensate for crosswinds. Multiple factors may have contributed, including possible flight control issues, flap or slat problems, and extremely gusty conditions. Elwell emphasized it's too early to assign blame, as a full understanding of the wind conditions and aircraft dynamics is still needed. Despite the severity of the crash, the quick response of first responders and the skill of the flight crew prevented fatalities.
