Heard on the radio this morning on the drive in that he was recorded going 180kts lateral and 60+kts down vertical at the time of the crash.

That would put him at ~189kts at roughly 1-5* entry angle into the ground. Assuming the ground was upsloping it basically has him driving straight in nose first or at a slight up angle at best. Never saw it coming or too late to affect a change in relevant downward motion compared to the ground.

My mistake the angle would have been about ~20* down angle. I dropped a zero.
