As an SLF I'm a bit confused on a couple of points. From the charts the missed approach is not consistent with the planes final position. Would any mechanical or other issues make it prudent for a seasoned pilot to deviate at his discretion?

It would seem that given the difficult approach that the aviate would outweigh the navigate on a missed approach but vectoring out to sea (as per the missed approach chart) would appear to minimize external issues. A loss of spatial awareness during the missed approach would seem to place the accident site in the bay...not its actual location...
