Back to an earlier comment made by crab, the nature of accident reports now almost demands the listing of the myriad of secondary or tertiary factors. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it carries the risk of diluting or obfuscating the primary causes - certainly to the uninformed or ill-informed. Sometimes there is a very obvious cause and effect linkage, but not always. In this case, simply taking off in those weather and light conditions set in motion a series of events that led to the almost inevitable and tragic outcome. The decision whether or not to lift is fundamental tenet of captaincy and airmanship, commercial or operational pressures don't suddenly increase your flying ability or improve the weather, but they do undermine your ability to make logical and safe decisions.
