The whole thing sucks -- horrible accident.
Not really. There is just not much control at all over a light plane which has lost power. Even if he saw them at the last second, he really couldn't have aborted...Very tragic but couldn't the pilot have seen them on the beach beforehand - and elected to ditch in the water instead?
Not trying to second guess....just can't help but wonder why he didn't realize 'landing where people are' wouldn't have consequences.
They apparently instruct you not to land in the water (unless it's a water craft) as it virtually always quickly flips and sinks - and you drown.Very tragic but couldn't the pilot have seen them on the beach beforehand - and elected to ditch in the water instead?
