Comments by "Reecom98" (@reecom9884) on "Southwest plane came within 400 feet of the ocean near Hawaii as it descended" video.
Flying in inclement weather the 737 was landing using the Instrument Landing System (ILS). The less experience co-pilot must have hit an updraft in the bad weather during landing and was above the landing ILS glide slope and dropped the nose aggressively and cut power not to over speed in the dive to recapture the glide slope. The captain ordered the co-pilot to hit the Take Off/Go around (TOGA) button to go to max power on the engines to go around. They diverted to Honolulu because it has a longer runway than Kauai; sounds like poor pilot training. The “Dutch Roll” sounds like it happened with the auto-pilot in control and not a pilot error, that’s why they when back to Boeing.
