Went for the daily stroll along Nai Yang beach this morning. Walked down the walkway past the Swedish/Finnish tsunami memorial and to the beach side of the airport. Still several cranes working with trucks moving parts out. I was surprised at how far up the runway the incident occurred. There was at least a mile and maybe more of runway left so it's anyones guess as to what actually happened.
I used to fly small single engine land and sea planes but in a place where the weather seldom abruptly changed as it does here. I can imagine the pilot had his hands full with the very strong winds. I live near the airport and the wind at the time of the accident was blowing stronger than any winds I have witnessed since living in Thailand.
