From what I have read, the F/O repeated three times, "please we should go around" and you have to understand in their culture to argue with the Captain is akin to raping his wife, (not like in ours where it is perfectly acceptable to say " Captain you must listen to me" (if you are sure he has lost his marbles) so the poor bugger was pushing it uphill from the start. Short of knocking the skipper out, he was in a terrible situation, and probably had a fair idea where it was all going to end up. I would not condemm him, just be glad you were not him.
