Guam... Korean Air Crash

VOR/DME approach and the crew descended before passing the VOR instead of afterwards. All dead (i think)

Birmingham... HON VOR approx 6 miles from the airfield and not far off the centreline of 33. Aircraft on LOC/DME approach to 33 descends to around or below MDA 6 miles from the airfield. Sounds to me like someone was using the HON DME and not the LOC/DME. Another lucky escape.
