Could not be the pilots fault. Must be that naughty 737; or so the story goes.
Inexperience pure and simple , add gas , hold if needed , divert if options run dry. I am a 35 year captain at a major airline and that's the rule.... period.
The article is incorrect in stating the St Johns River is west of KNIP. It is off the east end of KNIP Runway 10/28.
OK boys slow down and see the big picture , plane down people dead , does anything else matter ??
No one died!
Due to runway improvements landing on 9 was shorter than landing on 27. They landed in bad conditions with the left thrust reverser out of service.
A little bit longer on the touchdown, wet runway, and lack of asymmetrical braking: all spelled TROUBLE.
