Few Cloudy (quote)
I challenge you to find an accident or incident where there have been flooded runways and gusting strong winds, where the crew hasnīt made a mistake. Either a mistake of judgement, or a mistake in handling or both.

On the contrary -- there are thousands if not millions of 'incidents' where the plane lands (or takes off) safely in spite of lousy conditions. One might assume that the crew did everything right in those instances, and / or was lucky.
The insistence of some pilots that there must be some external cause for any aviation accident is certainly understandable. However, when all else is said and done, getting a plane down safely always comes down to the instinct and experience (judgment) and skill of the guy holding the yoke, even more so under crappy conditions. And I challenge YOU to find any profession involving judgment where nobody ever makes a mistake. There ain't one.
Pilots are in a nasty position -- when THEY make mistakes, people can die, and multi-million dollar vehicles can be destroyed. Plane crashes can happen when mechanical failures occur, or (yes) external factors like sudden extreme wind conditions, FOD, vehicle incursions, etc., create situations where no matter what the pilot does, he/she is screwed, but SOMETIMES, crashes ARE at least partly due to 'pilot error'. It is, however, an undeniable fact that aircraft manufacturers, airlines, airports, and government agencies all have a vested interest in making the 'little guy' in the cockpit take most if not all the blame ...
(Oddly enough, air traffic controllers -- who often end up on opposite sides of a blame-slinging exercise from pilots -- are in a similar position. Their mistakes can kill -- and the owners of the system that trains 'em, overworks 'em, and forces 'em to use outdated technology or new technology that is full of bugs are likely to say 'It's Joe Blow's fault -- our system is Just Fine.')
So ... the rush to Blame the Pilot is wrong. But the reflexive urge to Blame Anybody But the Pilot is also wrong.
