I hope that someone makes a graphic of where the plane was and where it should have been.

my thoughts take me to the almost disaster at Hartford,CT USA (KBDL) in which an American Airlines MD80 hit trees on a non precision night approach...barometric altimeter issues...trees at a height not accounted for in chart due to growth.

They made it by their whiskers.

I am also concerned that perhaps the crew were victims of a night/mountainous area visual miscue.

don't know if the plane had EGPWS

So sad...non precision, still a killer, especially night/mountains...etc
