Now what is the normal descent rate in a NDB-approach? Something like max 1.000 ft/min. Lets make that for errors double, being 2.000 ft.
Even being late on the power in a goaround (which would make no sense at all) together with an increase in pitch and the groundeffect would dampen the impact considerably. In this case the aircraft broke up completely in the first section of the debris field, one main gear strut and the tail being located nearly together.
There is no sign of being out of control prior the impact (that was observed wings level with a nose down attitude from the alitalia crew), where schould the high descentrates come from in a nose high tail hit first scheme?
