It doesn't matter what minimums were but why did they land in the water? Did they look at their radar? The DFW windshear crash was really emphasized in our training of how to avoid a repeat of that. Going into San Salvador one day I held an extra circuit in holding when minimums came back up to let things stabilize. Now I had a nice easy approach with a headwind instead of a quartering tailwind. I did all my hero stuff in the 20's and 30's, not in my 50's.
