"I went on FR24 like you said, and the last data point seems to show 114 KTS and 1088 FPM for the rate of descent - not sure where you saw the 150 FPM."

Impact occurred at 11:44:54Z. Sixty seconds before that, altitude was 150 ft. While RoD increased during the last few seconds, there's no way it reached over 1000 fpm.

Mode S vertical rates are notoriously inconsistent.
