Half a dozen witnesses interviewed by Reuters in the farmland where the plane came down reported smoke billowing out behind, while four of them also described a loud sound.
“It was a loud rattling sound. Like straining and shaking metal,” said Turn Buzuna, a 26-year-old ... who lives about 300 meters (328 yards) from the crash site.
“Everyone says they have never heard that kind of sound from a plane and they are under a flight path,” she added.
Tamirat Abera, 25...said the plane turned sharply, trailing white smoke and items like clothes and papers, then crashed about 300 meters away.
“It tried to climb but it failed and went down nose first,” he said. “There was fire and white smoke which then turned black.”

Sounds like an engine failure of some kind - if there was debris falling perhaps a thrown blade punctured the cabin and stuff came flying out.

the FR armchair NTSA investigators have already interviewed these eye witnesses, and found that they are not credible.
an airplane trailing smoke and personal effects is clearly suffering from a software glitch.
