Plane was doing 880fps when it hit. Don’t know off hand how long a Lear jet is so yes, a few milliseconds ... reminds of that jet carrying that pro-golfer that went in up in the Dakotas some place. Went straight in from around 45,000 feet.

If we are thinking of the same crash, didn't they think everyone was dead on board before it crashed?

I remember that. A fighter from Eglin AFB was already in the air and they directed it to check on the plane.

He flew beside it for a while and reported everyone seemed to be dead on it. I think it then flew for a long time before going in.
