I haven't read the full report.

The question I ask is, what was the f/o doing in the time interval before a few seconds before the crash? Was he an experienced pilot, who may have had the assertiveness intervene before tragedy stuck? Was he/she a 200 hr robot and watched the whole thing in the making? Please feel free to flame me if i am incorrect but it was a 2 crew operation was it not?

When I am a non handling pilot I would take over the controls if I thought we were going to crash.

Not trying to point fingers as we are all fallible, each and every one of us. Yes I am aware the pilot in command must take the responsibility and the buck stops with him/her.
