Flying the approach seems so basic .. especially with 2 pilots .. that it
sure makes you wonder about a failure of some sort that distracted the
crew.

Didn't realize they were missed off the LOC RWY 30.
This almost precludes a misreading of the chart, as the missed for this
approach is a climbing right turn back to the LOM at 2600.
Presumably, they knew the airport, so they would have been aware of
terrain
issues in the NW quadrant - we'll have to await more factual information
to
know whether they had an airplane problem or a major distraction to cause
them
to fly straight ahead. Condolances to all of them, and their loved ones.
