I agree, yet familiarity may lead to complacency, or at least a slightly lower level of attentiveness towards the risks of this particular combination of rising ground, low visibility and all the other factors. I am not trying to absolve the crew of any blame, but it is very easy to sit here and come up with what should have been done at the time. The crew painted themselves into a corner, were fortunate to come out of it with only some dents in their ego instead of in the airframe, and we've got a good report out of it that should lead to some significant improvements in the industry (hopefully). If you've ever found yourself in a situation that you should have avoided, you know how long you can continue to kick yourself for being so stupid. I suspect that the crew has done enough of that already.
