Looks like the plane hit short of the runway. There are marks and impact inprints right at the waterline. Also the elevetors and rudder are located at the approach end and not even on the threshold of the actual runway. Question is was there something mechinal that caused them to land short or was it pilot error. In US Navy carrier terms this was a ramp strike.
