gullibell I agree. Just a layman talking here but the impact looks suspiciously contained. Looking at the damage to the gangway on the building it looks a lot like what I'd imagine a vertical impact at great speed to be. Perhaps in an dive attitude similar to the recovery from the clouds shown in the video.
Weather may have changed from the accident time but roof top photos show top of the building clearly in the clouds. I'd be surprised if he could see the top of the building until the very last instance.
