Default Accident in Bahamas

This is so horrible to see and report.. my local news in DFW just reported that a Bahama's Air Flight shot the approach, missed, and then returned to Nassau just prior to this accident?

Jet crash in Bahamas kills 9 - CNN.com

Prayers to all involved.

I found this on FlightAware, have no confirmation that this is the aircraft but the timing is correct:

N17UF ? 09-Nov-2014 ? MYNN / NAS - MYGF / FPO ? FlightAware

Sad to hear. Hit the construction equipment near the airport.

We all have shot those approaches in +RA, but we must remind ourselves that it can be as dangerous as zero-zero sometimes.

Prayers go out to the families involved.

Can't imagine what the crew was thinking/doing for this to happen.

So sad to hear about Miles Monroe, his wife, and all those who perished. I read one of his books, "Maximizing Your Potential". Very inspirational and motivating.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace and rise in glory!
