They hit the water almost flat (tail a bit down)

Is it known what the final descent rate was? Still something like 125 mph?

That’s airspeed, not descent rate...and an almost fully fueled Airbus with no flaps is probably quite close to stall speed at 125 knots (not MPH).

Pretty much close to that.
