500 mph with two jet engines pushing it. You forgot about that part.

I did? Really? Hmmm... then what did I ludicrously claim was providing the "80,000 to 90,000 pounds of thrust"?

When you implied that you would expect terminal velocity for aircraft debris to be in the neighborhood of 500 mph I just assumed that you had forgotten about the jet engines providing that velocity. My mistake.
