Specualtion that they pulled flaps up instead of gear up and basically didn't have enough lift so it looks like a gentle stall right into a built up area.

Looks to be flaps up, slats/ nose flaps down and gear down which is very odd.

Cockpit video has always been apposed by various western pilot unions.

The long length cockpit voice recorder's are still apposed mainly in the USA.

Personally I really don't care...

The knee jerk imposition of additional medical checks is more of a concern.

Why?

Surely it's good for the pilot community to know what happened rather than pure guess work or speculation.
