The airspeed was 136 knots, or roughly 155 mph, according to the preliminary findings.
The report, which doesn’t provide a final cause for the crash, added that the jet’s right main landing gear collapsed after making contact with the runway.
“At touchdown, the following occurred: the side-stay that is attached to the right [main landing gear] fractured, the landing gear folded into the retracted position, the wing root fractured between the fuselage and the landing gear, and the wing detached from the fuselage, releasing a cloud of jet fuel, which caught fire,” the report stated. //

Read the prelim report - east yo find on-line. VVI at touchdown >1100 fpm. Book recommends 600 (RJ Manual). Design load limit was a measly 750 or so VVI.... oops.
