It was reported on Fox and Friends this morning that the pilot had only 43 hours flying time on the particular airplane and had never flown into San Francisco with the air plane. The question is why did the chief pilot allow him to fly it.

Too simple. Plane stopped flying short of the runway and "tripped" over the seawall. Goin' too slow too low. Could happen. Maybe put the gear down late and that rubbed off too much speed at an altitude where he couldn't put the nose down. Captain was a an F-5 hotshot, then an F-4 hotshot. Plenty of experience in 747, etc. Bad mistake. Too many pilots on board. Distracting.
The two dead kids were run over by the first responders? Could happen. Can you spell "lawsuit?"
Never could figure out why they never "ramp" the seaward side on these seawalls a bit, so "low and slow" might have a shot at sliding over. This happens a bit more than it should. LAG in NY is kinda notorious for it.
