A bit of graph paper and google earth + open ATC =

4.2 D 150' above the glide correcting 159 gs.(wind was reported as 210/10 so lets use 8 head for airspeed that gives 167kt
3.6 D 30' above 156kt

2.9D on glide 153kt
2.4D on glide 137kt
1.8D on glide 126kt
1.4 D on glide 94kt
1.2D wrekage

with a gs of 86kts as the last known speed thats 11 seconds for the last 450'

This really looks like the jet captured the glide and decelerated until sometime after 1.4D where it stopped flying and hit the deck 1/4 of a mile later.
