Chris - correct 0:22 and 0:24

By my calculations around 21 seconds to cover 6000ft, meaning 17,142 feet per minute, or around 1 million feet an hour. With 5280ft in a mile that gives an average ground speed of 194mph (169 kts) during the entire landing run.

The runway is actually very slightly longer so the speed was even higher.

It seems like a very high approach speed followed by virtually no deceleration.
