Your post is an even better example: Unfounded patronising against all facts but with enormous self confidence.

Did you even bother and check the track posted and the distance to Obstacles at the same elevation as the flight was on?
Obviously not, otherwise you would have noticed that the minimum horizontal distance to obstacles was approximately 500m. Flying at 300 kts equals ~150m/s. The rest I leave up to you. (Even if we assume that the Track isn't 100% accurate there is basically no way they could have continued on their track for more than 10s without changing the shape of the aircraft significantly).
Why is it for some so difficult to grasp that this one was a really close call?
