I'll dig up my freshman science notebooks and look up the formulas.
Also, I didn't take into account wind resistance because I do my physics calculations in happy go lucky fun time physics land. Where resistance is nonexistant.

Okay, now that I know the real height of 147m. It would hit after 5.48 seconds traveling 53.67m/s (which is only .33m/s from terminal velocity).
I don't need to calculate the energy on that, I know it's gonna hurt
EDIT: Gotta agree with ya about resistance..... World would be so much easier if we just forgot about that
