The ILS for both RWY 28L and 28R have been inoperative for several days. It is likely the pilot was not aware.

Interesting!

(I don’t understand those messages — but I’m sure you do)

Probably before you were born, but in 1968 (I think) a JAL DC-8 trying to make a night landing at SFO came in WAY short, wound up partly submerged with the tail sticking out of the water. I don’t think anyone was injured in that one either, but it must have been embarrassing when the wreck sat out there in full view for weeks.
