Here is the actual weather observation (METAR) from ADDS. This was the official observation at the time of the accident.

KBHM 140953Z 34004KT 10SM FEW011 BKN035 OVC075 23/22 A2997 RMK AO2 SLP141 T02330222

The ceiling was 3,500 feet and one at 7,500 feet. Few at 1,100 feet does not constitute a ceiling.

I agree.
I've only got 30 years of experience as an air traffic controller.
Where did that Bloomberg Article get that "FlightAware said" there had been a report of a Broken Ceiling at 700 feet?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
