Probably, but maybe not. There was a navigational aide that was down for repairs.
AND, all you really need is a 70 MPH unexpected tail wind gust for a plane that is about to land to suddenly aerodynamically stall and fall like a stone without wings.

With unlimited visibility and a 7 MPH headwind on a sunny day there is no excuse for pooching a VFR landing. Its actually unbelievable that two veterans pilots could screw this up so bad.

There may be a problem with the location of the air strip so close to the bay. Unpredictable wind direction and speeds presents a safety problem in the landings.
