Rat, I believe people are questioning how they got to that point, but there is no information, certainly not from WJ. The WJ blog has been all over the place on the incident.
To be that close to CFIT or CFIW, that far out, multiple systems must have all been screaming at them. The ac is not that old, (even has the split scimitar winglets), so it should have all the bells and whistles...

Close to the water, a delay in the GA, then 40 minutes in hold? Why was that?

There we also lucky the was not the usual flotilla of boats out there on the flightpath, they were certainly at mainsail ht!

This has made news all over the World, so it should be reviewed, and sorted as to why and how this happened.
