Safety Concerns:

Better airmanship MAY have avoided this accident but a serviceable RA WOULD have avoided this accident.
I am very disturbed by this statement. Wasn't #2 RA operating? Two ASI's were operating. Weren't manual thrust levers still available? The failure of one RA is a mere irritant, and the THY culture regarded it as such by their failure to snag it on previous flights.

CRM or no, how did THREE aviators fail to aviate? Let's not allow the spotlight to wander from its proper focus.
