So, minimums call at 550'. Continued down without seeing the runway, 150' the Captain takes over as the FO says again he can't see the runway.
Aircraft gets down to 20' before the Captain calls Go Around.......hit the water 1 second later....

They flew a perfectly serviceable 738 into the water for no good reason......

The mind boggles........

Lucky they hit the water where they did, another 100' closer to the runway and they'd all be dead after impacting the sea wall.......
So I suppose you could say they were lucky!!
