@ rainboe:

Look at the pictures on page 1 and 2. The tail is broken off behind the rear fuselage! Are you an experienced pilot? You cannot land a plane like this on a wet field without the gear coming off and the fuselage sliding quite a long way- not one planelength! The very rapid stop means slow speed and the damage means high ROD. Wherever are you getting these rate of descent estimates from?
They came within a whisker of not surviving.
I'm not taking a position either way, but I think perhaps Dani is saying that it actually did slide for maybe 70-80m based on the overhead photo below. When looking at SAS 751 where it slid for about 110m after striking the ground at 120knots with all surviving, the outcome in this case is indeed significantly worse but still comparable.



The similiar state of the SAS -80:
