Listening to ATC that I posted previously about the 20 knot loss at 1 mile final, 300 ft, and another 20 knot loss at the runway it isn't the voice of the accident aircraft. Was it the aircraft in front of them? This sounds like a windshear incident. Maybe they tried to salvage the approach then tried to go around. Significant wind currents must have been changing then causing them difficulty because they were VFR for the final phase of their approach.
