I was just thinking about that just before I read your question. There are several theories about how long it took: One was that it travelled the 12,500 feet straight as an arrow picking up immense speed as it went (don’t think so, would have shattered on impact). Another was that it drifted back and forth such as a leaf falling off a tree and the last that it went down in a circular motion. My opinion is that the last one is probably the right one. I base this on how far the forepeak is buried in the mud (almost up to its anchors). As for how long it took, that depends on the above. I believe the stern section is almost a mile from the bow section and is in much worse condition than the bow section and probably landed almost flat or somewhat towards the stern and most definitely had a different descent than the bow section.
