You are correct. Just saw the crash skeds on CNN. They do run right to the water's edge.

Wonder if that's where the tail section is. Wonder if they caught a nasty downdraft.

I''ve had two scary flights in SFO where the plane was bouncing and slewing right up to wheels on tarmac.

Dittos. I’ve flown into SFO a lot of times and every time I do I imagine coming in short just like this. Maybe it is just the lack of visual cues that throws off my sense of distance and speed.

..hardest landing I’ve ever had...MEXICO CITY late 80’s..probably a 12 foot drop, thought the gear was going to come up through the fuselage...a real hard thump!
