I'm surprised no one has commented on what a narrow escape this event had.
Very good point...I'll put it down to Divine Intervention! It seems to me the nose gear cleared the sea wall, but the main gear didn't...or if they did, it was marginal. Had the aircraft hit the sea wall, I dread to think of what might have been. While we can't downplay the loss of these two lives, this could have been much, much worse.
