I'd like to know why the passengers weren't warned of the impending ditching. They seemed to be unaware until impact.

Was the person that died very elderly or out of shape? That was as survivable a ditching as I've ever seen.


That being said, glorious journalism! a straight ahead full stall plop into the ocean. That was a ditching executed perfectly right from an aviation standpoint.


My friend was the CA of the other Mokulele engine out landing, which he too perfectly executed... though on a road!
