An Air Nuigini ATPL holder with 19,000 hours flew his B737-800 into Truk lagoon last year. And he was watched doing it by an ATPL holding co-pilot who said or did nothing until it was too late. Despite 16 EGPWS warnings that said they shouldn't be doing what they were doing. And they were both current and recently sim checked. And that was during daylight hours.
