My 5c worth,
Having done flown these contracts and ending up managing them (with my own aircraft on contract), there should be be no unnecessary pressure on crews to bust a MSA without the ground being visual. Go around and come back later. The owner and/or operator will be paid for that flight (and the next flight when the task is completed) and the 'hour builders' will get the time. Only the Air Ops guys get frustrated but that the guys normally sort out over a beer or 2 later.
Not really worth dieing for.
I didn't know the crew but my thoughts are with their families.
