That situation is colloquially known as "over easy".

Through the noise: the relevance of the free fall calculation would have been to get a back of the envelope estimation of what an in-flight break up would look like. The videos pretty much make that exercise pointless. They also make a compelling case for a primary or secondary flight control issue, whether the yolk stayed where it was, got scrambled with the white, or ended up in a nose-down omelette.
