Jal Dc-8
I was there also. I was flying freight in DC-3s out of SFO to LAX, PHX, SLC, PDX and SEA. It was a strange site seeing the DC-8 sitting in the water while I was flying approaches to the 28s at SFO.
I don't know if it's just a rumor, but a story was going around that the FO was aware of the situation but didn't tell the Captain that he was low because he didn't want the Captain to lose face.
I believe the Captain committed suicide.
