Not real clear, but you can see the plane had some serious roll problems on short final.

What was that flash at 0:15? Looks like it clipped something.

Some witnesses reported the jet was flying very low and clipped a power line, so that might be what it was. No official statement yet on any events leading up to the crash, however.
