The plane had passed the point of no return and couldnt stop in time. The pilot was aware because his indicators warned him of engine trouble and the air traffic controllers words "You have flames behind you". The pilots only real option was to try to make Le Bourget which is apparently about 5km away, but it was to no avail. The wing literally disintegrated on him plus with the engines gone he didnt have enough power to keep the plane up.
