Reply to comment by Googlemapsflow in TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss
I'm not wrong, it must be more to it than the basic kinematic equations cover. Even calculations using distance instead of time yield an impact speed of 390mph.
