Landing short..
Let's say they landed short. At this altitude they would have flown with gear down. How successfull would a water landing be with a landing gear in down position??? So I don't think they landed short with a 100% functioning airplane.
Rumors are out that they have declared an emergency shortly before the accident. On AvHerald they mentioned the similarity from the TK accident in AMS as well. Not so sure about that one.
I think there is a lot of information missing up to now.
@P2Fly: I always thought that even they offer P2Fly - everybody still has to show its flying skills in a simulator in front of a Lyon Captain. Only if this sim assesment is passed...then a pilot can transfer the money... Anybody has some insight in this?
Last but not least....glad that everybody is alive .
