If you listen to the LiveATC recording, he calls " 12 miles to run, and 1 thousand 5 hundred' " and is told to join straight in for 11. Assuming he doing around 120kts, all he needs is a sink rate less than about 250 ft/min. But sadly it sounds like it was higher, and he was out of height just over 5 minutes later..
