I've only seen very poor quality video but it appears as already mentioned, that the rate of descent was nowhere near sufficiently reduced in the flare resulting in a hard landing. Further to that, there was a significant crosswind component from the right side, and the aircraft has touched down with apparent sideslip onto the right main gear. I don't fly the CRJ, so don't know if sideslip landings are an approved technique from the manufacturer...They are on a Boeing.
High rate of descent, no flare, sideslipped heavy landing onto only the right main gear...potentially with some prior compromised structural integrity of gear assembly causing failure of right main gear - possibly gear strut pushing up and rupturing fuel tank from underneath, fuel igniting, right wing rips off, left wing still producing lift rolls the remains of the aircraft to the right and aircraft ends up inverted.
It's a miracle that there are no fatalities from this.
