I suspect it would have been significantly higher for this a/c - 10,000 fpm gives you 1 minute only and I suspect the wings would have come off or the g limited so it would have crashed form 10,000ft. Purely a ball park guess - if a correct attitude change had not been made by 20,000 ft it would be a done deal.
