If these engine vibrations were the main contributor to the crash, it seems strange that the engine and front of the aircraft were not ripped off as opposed to the tail plane. In the photos the only missing parts of the aircraft, seem to have been the tail plane and wings (which were presumably smashed on impact with the ground).
