prober thanks, and speed and 2nd approach?

thank you prober for your kind reply indicating that the 757 too is a slippery a/c when landing light re my much earlier post questions.

very sad to hear a 5th crew member has perished, i hope that the young lady carried out of the a/c in the news-clip was not the young lady that died.

however,
as i mentioned in my early post the about wondering what was the actual speed of the a/c when it struck the embankment (threw a 3 seat passenger unit across the road) and therefore the impact injuries would be severe akin to BMA 737 on the M1 at Kegworth.
if you were facing backwards (crew jump seat) your survival without serious injury is better in such forces.

have we established yet whether this was a 2nd approach or not?
or was that mis-info.
