You'll observe the pylon is much the same height as the A310s flyby, yet it took only a seconds distraction to hit the ground. The recovery manuouvre involved a pull up in excess of 8G, but that option was available and utilised. What sort of G could the A310 get away with if they misjudged this and had ground contact? How rapidly could the flight path be changed once they'd realised things were going wrong?
