Asiana use the PW engine. BA use the RR.
The decent profile for the approach seems steep, then flattened out.
I read that Asiana pilots are obsessed with smooth landings and typically flatten out the approach for a smoother flare/touchdown.
The ILS was also not operational I am told - PAPI being the only glide-slope reference.
Possibly undershot the threshold and in an attempt to arrest, over-rotated and hit the tail into the ground, causing it to detach.
