From today's Daily Mail (UK daily newspaper!)

........ The jet was 60 miles from landing at Denver and travelling at at a speed of 608mph - twice the recommended landing approach speed.
It was also at 35000feet - too high to begin it's approach to the landing runway!

Nice picture of an A319 too - didn't know it landed THAT fast or 35,000 feet was too high to start approach - must get the books out again!

Don't you just love reporters!
