Airbubba thanks for reposting the radar data. For the approach it would appear the aircraft was about 8000' 3 minutes from touchdown. 2 minutes later it about 1300'. That would give a rate of descent down the ILS initially at over 3000FPM. The last minute works out to over 1000FPM. even without knowing the airspeed/configuration involved it was never going to be pretty.
As for the "gate" that Krismiler mentions, most people have personal ones that vary between individuals and comfort factors. Manufacturers and Airlines have mandatory ones. 1000' and/or 500'. If you do not make the requirements- go-around.
