What was the speed at impact? Plausible to open doors & jump out?

I had read 430 mph - so fast that the aircraft was virtually pulverized upon impact.

Plausible to open doors & jump out?

No.

Gee, only about the speed of sound. So I'll have to get back to you on that one.:)

400 mph plus. It's a plane striking the ground at near full speed, not a Road Runner cartoon. Even if a passenger could get out of a cabin door (and they can't), he/she is still traveling at the same speed as the plane. Dead on impact.

LOL. Try opening your door at 85mph on the freeway. Now multiply that by a 5X larger door and 5 times the speed.

And, all that would happen if you somehow got out is you would hit the ground at ~ 450mph.

I think I saw that on a Bugs Bunny episode.
