An entirely preventable accident which is difficult to watch as the impending accident sequence progresses. Considering that there was a wide body of water to land on, there was no reason to attempt such a steep base to final turn from the downwind at such a slow speed in a twin engine, which, as far as I know, does not have counter-rotating props. It proves that the laws of physics and the principles of aerodynamics are absolute and unforgiving.
