But TUNNEL VISION is very powerful and blinding when the pilot flying is just trying to get the bird on the runway.
It wasn't that long ago that an Air New Guinea 737 hit the water when trying to land in a storm at Chuuk. There was video taken by an engineer in the jump seat and showed the whole sequence of events with windshear warnings, too low terrain warnings and a big red weather return over the airfield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Niugini_Flight_73 The idea that there were multiple warnings going off and that they were being ignored in this accident is highly likely. The least likely explanation is a bizarre sequence of technical failures and that a highly professional crew did their utmost but ultimately couldn't recover the situation.
