Their landing lights are visible from 03:44:55 until they are in the GA at 03:45:25. About 30 seconds.

They are in the clouds again until 03:35:57. About 32 seconds. That's a long time. In a straight and level line, at 140 KTS, that would have taken them about 1.25 NM

Also, the point at which the lights disappear and become visible again do not seem too far apart. I know we don't know the real perspective on the camera.

The first flightaware posts showed a pitch up near the approach end and the subsequent crash about midway down the runway.

The CVR and FDR should be very interesting.
