In fact the crew did not follow any of the SOP recommended procedures.
Coupled with Alcohol, Fatigue, the old Russian ADI chestnut (known for years).. the list goes on and on (and reads depressingly like a KAL recommendation list, only worse if that is possible) - this accident was an absolute tragedy for the Victims and their families.

If the Captain was actually drunk as infered what were the ground staff doing at SVO - twiddling their thumbs? both SVO's are bad yes... but they aren't lawless.

The first port of call for the Russian authorities should be the Airlines Management. But that won't happen, or if it does, cosmetically only. Its a very sad day for Russian Aviation, but the reports transparency brings hope - that is truly encouraging.
