That's absolutely horrible. I wonder why he couldn't divert. 😞

Aircraft with Podded engines never do well to land in water or soft land. 😞 That was a major player, I bet. 😞

I've noticed that the majority of those accidents happened in B737 variety aircraft...Dunno about you, but I'm never getting on another of those.
