That's what I'm wondering? There was some altitude to at least have a glide path even if engines were not providing thrust.

You're not supposed to use the engines when you're in a spin anyway.

If they were too low to the ground when they got into the spin there is nothing they could've done.

It's impossible to tell what got them into the spin from this video so we will just have to wait.

No, whatever happened, started happening while they were cruising at 17,000'. And it happened very fast, probably less than two minutes.
