Would that make more sense?

* – The post reads 116 miles per minute, which is 6,960 miles per hour.

Jay: This “sudden drop in velocity” suggests a hard impact. In the previous flight the spacecraft’s engines cut off at 3 kilometers (the software thinking it was just above the ground). I wonder what happened this time.

Sudden drop in velocity.
