The Boeing C. 737-800 was flying through the air at over 966 kilometres per hour and at times may have even exceeded 700 mph, data by Flightradar24 said. This impact may hamper investigations as it wipes out evidence. In rare cases such an impact can even damage a plane's data and voice recorders that are usually designed to withstand most crashes.
