Exactly. There is no need to add sensationalism.
They didn't. They described it. The jet very clearly slammed into

Slammed is a word that doesn't need to be included. It's pretty subjective.

I always thought that Slams was a word that is often picked because it
is relatively short and fits into headlines better.

Political headline: 'A slams B over case'.

Slam and its variations is a multi-purpose word.
