Well, that would account for ripping off the nose and sending the seated attendant through the air. Do you have a link for that mph data point? I'm bleary-eyed, woke up in the middle of the night here and got online to check news when I came across this incident so haven't read any articles on the speed as yet.
If you're interested, take a look at some of the threads/comments in this post by u/RacinetheMeme, even a video on plane impacts and I have to agree with RtM that this is NOT a 100+ mph crash. Also, other anons providing info on aircraft design, etc. Interesting stuff and there's usually lots of conflicting info when an incident like this occurs. Hard to sift through at times, especially if the topic is not in one's bailiwick.
That 24 mph speed is what FR24 (public aircraft transponder tracking) caught about 30 seconds AFTER the collision when the plane was skidding to a stop. Based on the landing speed of the jet and where it was on the runway it would have been somewhere above well 100 mph when it hit the truck.
Can you look at that satellite image regarding the alleged crash location in the link in the comment above where I tagged you? Does this line up with the location you're seeing for the collision location?
24 mph? Wow. As I mentioned in another comment, I don't know much about impacts/collisions, but that "seems like" (to my perhaps uninformed viewpoint) excessive damage for that speed.
u/WildMassGuessing112 - this seems to contradict your statement that it was moving at 130 mph.
If the plane was landing and came down on the firetruck - which would account for the bad parking job - it wouldn't be going 24 or it would've dropped from the sky far before it got close to the runway. It would need to be at 130-150. That's if it hit coming in. If it hit at the other end after landing who knows.
Apparently it was a 130 mph collision

Sadly it was CNN's article I saw it on. They updated it to 104 mph.
Thanks for the reply.

Interesting. 104 days starting today is right around the 4th of July.

The plane, carrying 72 passengers and four crew, was travelling about 24mph after arriving from Montreal on Sunday evening, local time.

Landing speed is ~150mph so yeah, above 100 totally possible and the truck was pushed for a ways.

.
Heavy plane amd heavey truck. 24mph can do some damage. Plus tjose planes aint really mad of much.
I guess it's like slamming into a brick wall.

Nope, under 30mph.
