The exact rate of descent at impact is not known, but the impact was survivable
followed by a "100 FEET" automated call two seconds before impact with the surface of the sea
With apologies to Isaac Newton for the shoddy rate of change calculation, but 100 feet in two seconds sounds like 3000 feet per minute to me.
