Is that the one where only one person died?

jmig,.....I honestly don't know. Maybe someone else could shed some light on this crash. I found it a bit odd that there was no mention of fatalities one way or another at the end of the animated video clip.

I remember recently reading something about an airliner that crashed with one one fatality. I think it hit tail first. From the video if that plane was going that slow and hit, tail-midsection-front, it would be like the PLF's parachute jumpers so when landing. I could see where people might survive.
 
The combination of the technical fault and pilot errors, and modified Approach/ILS procedure per ATC instructions are at blame here. If the pilots noticed the fault and had visible & audible warnings, they should have been aware and prepared to deal with the situation without exception.
The modified ATC instructions for Approach/ILS Entry shortened the intervals and caused the pilots to be occupied with checklists & procedures at a critical phase in shooting the ILS approach as well as placed the plane out of optimum position to auto-intercept the glideslope. Normally the FADEC is slightly slow to respond to auto-commanded speed changes anyway(not instantaneous).
There's always a good share of risk by over reliance on the automation. Assumption Kills! Scans/Cross-Checks Lives! My question is, what the hell was the "Safety Pilot" doing when all this was going on? Inattention in IMC shooting an ILS is bad news.

Doesn't ATC normally announce a short final?

If it did, the pilots had to be prepared. So I say that improper CRM was definately a huge contributing factor.
