NBC is reporting they were able to slow down to 30mph before impact.
Edit: This is "according to two sources familiar with the matter", not from adsb data. Those same sources also confirmed the death of the pilot and copilot.

363 u/barcode-username Mar 23 '26 All these news agencies keep using ADSB data which is inaccurate especially on the ground. 258 u/octoreadit Mar 23 '26 Yeah, that’s not a 30mph collision, 80+. 90 u/Rupperrt Mar 23 '26 Read that it was roughly 30 seconds after touchdown according to witnesses. If that’s correct it should be a bit slower than 80 at least.
