The accident happened extremely quickly.

The time from the commencement of the manoeuvre at 4500 feet to the final reported altitude of 1560 ft was only about 20 seconds. A descent rate of about 8,800 fpm. The time to the accident was only 27 seconds.

it seems that these aeroplanes can run away from you very quickly.
