Scott,
   The reason for the turn at = 1.5 miles=20 was threefold:
   750' AGL (300' = above a normal=20 glidepath)
   210 KIAS (about = 100 knots too=20 fast)
   1900 fpm rate of = descent=20 (around 1200 fpm higher than a normal descent rate)
 
That plane was coming down like a clean = brick to=20 try to salvage an unsalvageable approach when at 1.5 miles, it became = obvious=20 that a right 360 was needed to get down and slow down enough to = land. =20 Apparently, the turn into the dark combined with an unarrested sink = rate=20 resulted in flying into the water a little over halfway through the=20 turn.
