Re, "Would the fact that the TAM Airbus managed to "fly" that distance not indicate, in itself, a much higher impact speed than the 204? "
Yes it would and that's exactly my point.
Re-reading my post I wasn't sufficiently clear in stating that I think the 204 overrun was a low-speed accident. I think it was closer to the Etihad and (thanks, Machaca), TGU accident speeds, (30 to 50kts).
