What is the falling Need help understanding possibly incorrect numbers for aircraft speed (error conversion)?

Yesterday I was watching a show about Air Crash Investigation.
Case France Flight 447
, the Type of aircraft: Airbus A330-200Air France flight 447 case involving an Airbus A330-200.

I watchwas watching it with spanishSpanish voice dub.

Thedubbing and the weird part is voicethat the narrator say PLANE:said the plane...

  • Reachreached a final speed of 13000 kmh13,000 km/h
  • Plane startstarted falling at 7000 kmh7,000 km/h
  • Crashcrashed at 200 kmhkm/h

The only speed value makingthat makes sense to me is the last one: 200 kmhkm/h.

So myMy guess is that something was missed in translation.

  What is usually the speed measure for aircraft in the US?

The other value I can thinkalso thought about was 7000the 7,000 figure, and perhaps instead of speed at kmh meanin km/h it meant altitude in feets.feet?
