That thing was not descending at 32,000 feet per minute at the last moment before impact. Step through the frames, take screencaps, then measure the distance it travels with a ruler in Photoshop. 109 pixels. The plane's total length from nose to tail is 192 pixels. This gives us a conversion factor. 192 / 109 = 1.76. A 58.6 foot plane, divided by 1.76, gives us a traveled distance of 33.2 feet in one frame. 33.2 * 30 fps = 996 feet per second. 59,760 feet per minute. 679 miles per hour.
Mach 0.88.
