    Lets not rush to judgment on this. The weather was bad and I am sure that those guys were doing everything they could to keep it under control. Our prayers to all of the crew and passengers.

    Agreed

    And thanks for the pictures Mark, it certainly helps set the scene and fill in a few blanks :)

    There are some daylight pics now of the accident and it looks like the plane came to rest right next to the little lighthouse at the departure end of Rwy 12. You can see it in the approach picture I posted. They really did come close to ending up in the water.
