It can't be that difficult to find out if the weather was bad or not. There were a lot of surfers nearby who saw the accident, and headed straight to the crash site after the flight ditched.
And if there is a wall of water between me and the airport, I don't think I would see very much of it. Where they were flying blind below minima on a non precision approach?
Whatever happened to predictive and reactive windshear warnings? The bells should have gone off one way or another?
