This confirms my belief and conviction to always be remembered as just an "OK" pilot, one that was marginal and unremarkable. Its the "great pilots" that always end up this way. God bless them....."if a carpenter drives enough nails, he will eventually hit his thumb."

@nikinko11 I am so sorry for your loss. If he can land at Samedan he was truly a great pilot

Great airport, and sorry to hear of fellow aviators not walking away from the flight.
Am a bit confused thoug about the silly remark about mentioning that the passenger being rich, someone travelling on a private jet is most probably wealthy and it is just mentioned to indicate it was not a company employee or a friend of the crew. No harm done.

On landing, the wing caught the snow wall and it swung around smashing nose first in to the snow wall.
I was in St.Moritz at the time.

The cause of the crash was due to the captain (who was pilot flying) trying to land in marginal visual conditions. The approach was unstable and was not aligned with the runway. The captain tried to correct the alignment but was still travelling at an angle to the runway when the right wing tip struck the runway. It then drifted left until the left wing struck a snow bank spinning the aircraft anti-clockwise. It then struck another snow bank breaking in two killing both the pilots.
