Bad weather, no nav aids, attempted scud running and then CFIT. It has happened how many thousands of times in the last 100 years and will continue to happen even in this modern age of "professionalism". And frankly I don't think there was anything wrong with the aircraft. No distress comms from the crew and a witness heard the engine power up - obviously too late to have any effect. What happened in Cork yesterday, despite the crew having access to all the help they needed. Very sad.
