How come the plane was flying soo close to the ground? Or did a microburst caused it to loose altitude?That was probably due to hitting electricity wires.

The plane is thought to have hit high-tension wires due to flying too low below the cloud base.
(as yet unconfirmed.)
I doubt if lightening can get an airliner down
............
Could be , if the plane did get caught in a downwind under a cloud as the preliminary data shows.

The plane was in Line with the Runway apparently....so it can be assumed that the pilots were alive and conscious,and had some sort of control on the plane.
The crash site is hardly 3 Km from Runway,so the plane must have been at very low altitude at that point and landing gear must be down.
TC report that the plane had lost contact about 40-50 minutes before Crash....
Parts of fuselage have been shown on the TV and they bear visible signs of a fire..
Two engines were shown on TV,and had no signs of fire although its hard to say by just seeing a few seconds of footage recorded in low light..But both engines are not Buried in the ground and did not make a crater,but were crumbled due to impact.....Still partially intact though.
The Flight data recorder was heavily dented but had no signs of fire,and had impact damage.
What can we assume from all these observations?
It was likely not lightning.
Sudden wind shear on final approach can be very hard to recover from.
There was a similar accident involving a B737 which crashed also on approach belonging to Turkey. The problem was the faulty altimeter reading by auto pilot which shut down the engines. ............
