Some will use this accident to defend, with renewed vigour, the elimination of pilots from the flightdeck.
Automation caused the accident.
The only problem here was that the pilots did not in time figure out that it happened.

This is almost a copy of the 29th of December 1972, Eastern Airlines flight 401 accident in Miami. Two pilots and a flight engineer trying to fix a bulb and the aircraft parking itself in the Everglades.
