Just saw video on Fox, showing where it looks like it hit rocky bulkhead before runway threshold, debris in the water.

All I have is the radar, the pics look like they came up a little short. Looks like low and slow(radar indicates around 100kts at impact) and was too aggressive on the correction.

Just some facts...
Video shows the tail laying very near the approach end of the runway.
Debris starts at the waters edge of the beginning of the runway.
The rest of the aircraft is resting further down the runway off to the side.
The rocks on the shoreline at the approach end have been disturbed.
Looks like one of the main gear is near the approach end too.
Weather is perfect.....calm and clear.
Opinion / speculation...
Landed short? Remember the British Airways 777 landing? I wonder if they suffered the same problem. Only time will tell.
Now the important stuff...
I hope everyone is safe.
Edit...news is reporting everyone is safely off. Hope this is true.

Looks like No.2 engine is well forward of the wing up against the fuselage. One picture during the evac shows smoke from that side. Might be cause of the fuselage fire?
