As we are all aware it is a sad thread, a number of people have lost their lives and their families have lost loved ones.
It becomes even harder because some people who are posting also knew the people concerned, so emotion also plays a part in peoples' objectivity.
When it is someone we know who has died, it can sometimes seem impossible that they could have made a mistake or could have been at fault.
As it has already been said, all the facts are not known, so it falls to speculation.
However, the known facts are,
1.The crew decided to descend below the grid MORA.
2.They were in mountainous terrain.
3.The weather was bad.
4.The outcome.
We all have to make decisions and live with them. We all try to make the best decision possible given the factors present, the situation, our knowledge and many other factors.
Most of the time we make good decsions and sometimes bad decisions can be made. Sometimes good decisions are made and then an external factor which could not have been forseen can override what was initially a good decision.
Basically, I am sure the crew in question made a decision, was it the best one, that is open for debate, but they made it and tried their best to make it successful and as already said, none of us were there and therefore will never know what made them arrive at their decision.
All we can do is accept they made one, whether it was a good one or a bad one.
