Just been watching Fox News - the lady on there announced a few minutes ago that the aircraft 'may have touched down at up to 1,400 feet per second'.
I heard the same report. The reporter Claudia Cowan said a rate of descent1400 FPM, which is 23 FPS. Also, she was referring to rate of descent, not necessarily at touchdown.
