Sadly they crashed ~12nm from Farallon island (~400m long).
If they tracked directly from 10.000ft to Farallon island instead of Half Moon Bay, they would ended ~6nm away from Farallon.

I am seeing various speeds/rate od descents, I wonder whether they would be able to reach the island if they had different rate of descent?
