More on why its not the Cessna is not a terror attack :
1/ No fire
2/ Plane at right angle to the shore. Parallel would have killed many more.
3/ Apparently two people on board.
4/ Arab terrorists are not (yet?) twin engine guys.

Re: "Most probably lost an engine after takeoff, before building sufficient airspeed for crash avoidance. "

The runways at that airport seem like they ought to be long enough to allow the airplane to get above the best single-engine climb speed before liftoff. The lack of fire, however, suggests the possibility of running out of fuel.

Another reason for thinking it was probably an accident is that airplane accidents happen every day, and there's no reason why today should be any different.
