WTBF, the nightmare you describe in the fuzzy green is different in what way to the scenario he would have faced without the NVG?
Emotive comments using this prelim report are IGNORING the HUNDREDS of NVFR accidents. And even the HUNDREDS of accidents of flight into deteriorating viz during the day. Having NVG is not going to change the stats on people who get caught in deteriorating conditions. The NVG doesnt suddenly change descion making and risk management procedure.
No, lets put our heads in the sand and blame the goggles......
