ILS perfect solution for CFIT ?

Checkmate 707:
There is a cultural misunderstanding, that has nothing to do with aviation.
The word "sehit"(turkish: martyr) may be used not only for someone who has sacrificied himself for a cause, also for some one who has died while performing his duty. In this case you don't need to be a pilot or a retired general to be called as sehit. You might be a flight attendant or a passenger who is on a business trip.

You are right about the media, some of the scientists died are working for years in important projects, but they got attention only after the crash.

One of the claims in the media is that with ILS such accidents would never happen.

Assuming the crash reason was CFIT, is this claim true?

well if you don't guessed it yet I am just turkish a passenger who has booked on Atlas Jet to a flight to Antalya. ( ILS installed. )
