In my opinion it could be anywhere 80-120 kts since it is so hard to estimate the exact length of the aircraft from this video. Where the tail is it is obvious but the rest is hard to judge.
My accident investigation experience is with smaller jets, but from the degree of fragmentation, I'd be inclined to offer up something in the vicinity of 200-250 knots at impact.
