Breakthrough: Insight from the Media

At last some new information about the possible cause of the accident...

Many media are now carrying a story attributed to Associated Press that includes this gem regarding KSFO:

"In a news conference Tuesday, NTSB officials didn't explain fully why the plane approached the notoriously difficult landing strip too low and slow, likely causing the crash..."

Landing strip? 28L? 200 feet wide and 11381 feet long?
Notoriously difficult? No terrain, CAVU, over water approach?

And I thought TGU was an interesting approach - but not rising to the level of being notoriously difficult.
