Glad the crew walked away uninjured.

On our local news last night, was a quote that opened my eyes.

An airport worker reported "the speed of the jet was about 300mph as it touched down"

Is it at all possible the speed could have been anywhere near that? The runway is 2329 metres long... and the GR4 came to rest off the runway but short of the trees/bushes on the perimeter.
