I doubt it was set out of trim with tail tank fuel as it was going to Dubai. So no fuel in the tail tank.
Gear would not have helped in this situation as putting the gear from down to up increases drag due to the doors opening. But the drag with the gear down may have helped with a nose down moment around the centre of pressure.
I'll wait it see the the report.
So for now it's a very tragic accident that no one has facts on.
RIP guys/girls.
