damned if I know. Looks like they came in nose down and just forgot to flare. Altimeter error, perhaps? Though you'd think they'd have noticed the ground was closer than the altimeter said it should be. Possibly a control failure at low altitude? We probably won't know until the accident investigation publishes a conclusion.
An incorrect barometer setting can cause that but you expect that under instrument conditions.
Once she started to go over, that really wasn't survivable.
That crash in Witchita, KS? (Cornfields) apparently rolled and broke up and had survivors at least towards the front of the aircraft. EAS 401 broke up but also had survivors.
