Sailvi767, you're doing nothing more that Monday-morning quarterbacking. To say "yes, we're below 900ft so it won't give us a RA so let's get out of here" is totally unrealistic in these circumstances. Statements like "Watching an aircraft track in on a collision course and doing nothing takes a lot of courage." are just nonsense, in that, of course it would take a lot of courage and no-one in their right mind would do that in a normal situation, cruising along higher up. But these guys were 500ft off the water, at night, manoeuvring to a late-change final approach.
