Thanks uff 00! Only difference - I've got the accident at 1.30 on the 10th of april. Means a night landing on the water AFAIK, not that easy obviously...

I looked at the KTBs, no such a early date is given, maybe you are speaking of the time when plane sank ?, where hv you found it ? We are speaking of the Wn. 854 right ?
