look at the angle of attack... its clear that is coming in very flat... proof is in the way the smoke rises up.

obviously the plane is going wayyyy beyond its maximum indicated airspeed to avoid being seen on every camera. The max i can get a 757 up to in flight simulator is ~750 knots/hour and thats nose diving from 48,000 (service ceiling) feet, directly down with full power on.

The plane would need to be travelling much faster than this speed to avoid the camera snapshot delay.

Even then... at that speed there is wreckage.
Frank.. I want to see some of these "pics all over the net" of it
