The Dutch authorities are saying there may have been an engine failure. That would have certainly been enough to cause an undershoot.

However, it strikes me as a bit odd, since none of the eyewitnesses I read about mentioned the plane losing power. In the British Airways 777 incident and the Hudson River landing, everybody immediately knew it was engine failure.
