Actually the WX was
WEATHER: KMTV 241620Z AUTO 00000KT 5SM OVC006 14/13 A2998 RMK A01

LOC30 minimums with DME are 400-1, however approximately 20 aircraft,
probably most with two man professional crews, had missed the approach and
diverted so the weather might not have been as good on approach as it was at
the airport.

Or perhaps no failure was involved. The reported ceiling was 100 below
MDA
and rising according to the sequence reports. Two pilots searching for
visual contact with an airport they had gone into many times....

What I'm reminded of once again is if you fly the procedure to standard
with
discipline and not too much judgement, it all works.

We'll just have to wait to hopefully find out. But that may never happen.

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.
