They bounced, tried to go around, retracted the gear, but then sank back onto the runway. Pure guesswork though.

" My mate is with flydubai and he saw the crash live :
Yeah I was crossing runway behind it as it landed ....front row seat ... they landed hard, aborted , go around, gear up ... not enough power and it sank back into the runway .... some are saying windshear but we felt nothing. Crazy site to see ...even crazier that apparently most people survived ! I thought it was a total loss for sure.
This was on the fo group chat "

Hmmm....
